Cracks in the Wall: Stories

Neera Kashyap

4.9/5 (14217 ratings)

Description:Cracks in the Wall reveals multi-faceted struggles—mental, societal, familial—individuals confront as they navigate fears, traumas and desires in the course of their lives and gives readers a window into the tumult that such a process entails, with useful but often difficult revelations. Be it a working woman in an abusive marriage who finally finds the courage to seek intervention, a mother who has to choose between the government and rebels to keep her child safe, while another comes to terms with lost motherhood, or a love stifled under the weight of ambition, these stories mirror deep-rooted fractures, both at a personal and social level, owing to gender inequality, taboo around addiction, mental abuse, conflicts between classes as well as between the urban and rural. Faith plays a role both incrementally and startlingly—the spiritual quest seeded randomly or through a slow process of transformation—as do dreams, to deepen understanding of the human psyche. Each story peels what may seem apparent, letting us in on a world within the world, and invites us to take a closer look.About the Author: Neera Kashyap has worked in newspaper and developmental journalism, specializing in social and health communications. Her early literary writings were dedicated to stories for children (prize-winning anthologies by Children’s Book Trust) and a book for young adults (Daring to Dream, 2004). Later, her poetry, short fiction, essays and book reviews appeared in various Indian and international literary journals and anthologies of both poetry and short fiction. Cracks in the Wall, her debut collection of short stories for adults, is drawn from a decade of writing. She lives with her family in Delhi, and seasonally in a cottage near Ranikhet, where Nature speaks in many voices.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
