A young boy applies lipstick
on his lips as his mother looks on and grapples with her son’s sexuality. A
wife negotiates with the ‘other woman’ and a love child after her diplomat
husband’s violent death. A middle-aged woman ‘disappears’ while answering her
inner calling. The Second Wife & Other Stories deals with love, war,
caste and class divides. The stories in this collection are contemporary yet
timeless. They ask probing questions on gender issues, explore queer
relationships, and boldly re-tell the epics. The woman and her story remain
the focal point as the author delves deep into women’s lives and raises
provocative questions.
