Untitled Novel

A Bengal tiger wakes up one morning realising he is ravenously in love.
A pompous railway supervisor in a remote Indian province bites off more than he
can chew when a peculiar new clerk arrives on his doorstep. In another place
and in another time, a secret agent who spends her days watching the front door
of an unknown quarry discovers something she isn't meant to. An immigrant
housewife in a Midwestern town geeing up for Thanksgiving makes a wish she may
come to regret. And a small and famous country's only executioner claims his
conscience is as clean as his heavy, washed stones.

With this glittering,
savage and elegant first collection, where reality loops in Borgesian twists and
dazzles with Bollywood exuberance, where frayed photographs take on a life of
their own and where elephants wish only to die with dignity, Rajesh
Parameswaran bursts onto the literary landscape as an astonishing new talent.
