No tour like a serious anthology such as this one to show you how a distant part of the world seems so foreign and yet so close to home.
The Lotus Singers offers intriguing glimpses of facets of South Asian life that often fail to reach the American literary market.
Seeming at first to confirm our expectations of the standard stereotypes associated with South Asia—poverty, caste, and the pressures of the traditional family—these stories turn those expectations around in bold, subtle, and intriguing ways, forcing readers to rethink everything they thought they knew about this place at the crossroads of the world.
