    About this ebook

    Complex, compelling and shocking - PAUL ZACHARIA

    An intimate chronicle of the world we live in ... deceptively simple but searingly truthful - K.R. MEERA

    Endlessly playful, cleverly mischievous, enchantingly magical, scarily nightmarish - K. SATCHIDANANDAN

    When they were first published, Gracy's stories shocked readers with their sexual candour and frank celebration of female desire. She is now widely recognized as one of the most important contemporary writers in Malayalam.

    Her short stories, which vary from half a page to novella-length, draw the reader into the world of modern men and women caught in quagmires of desire, lust, jealousy and vengeance - emotions that they often carry even into the afterlife. In these pages we will find: the bitter defiance of a daughter going to her mother's funeral in her most alluring sari; a contemporary retelling of the story of Draupadi; the sinister coming-of-age tale of a young girl...

    Brilliantly rendered by award-winning translator Fathima E.V., Baby Doll brings a comprehensive selection of Gracy's work to English readers for the very first time.
