Reseñas
El Jul 8 2011, EarlEDoors dijo:
Perera was born in Madras but lives and teaches in America. This is the first British publication of these twelve stories but some have appeared earlier in the USA.A stubborn old woman vows to stay silent one day a week until her death becomes her loudest and most powerful silence. Two dubious holy men awaken a child to the irony of belief. An unjustly dismissed schoolmaster becomes a rueful metaphor for the uselessness of hindsight.These stories based in Indian culture can be humorous wistful and tragic and, like the stories of Salman Rushdie, draw us into the world of the storyteller. Padma Perera is a dazzling talent.
