Insects Are Just Like You and Me Except Some of Them Have Wings
Insects Are Just Like You and Me Except Some of Them Have Wings | Kuzhali Manickavel
2 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
Fiction. South Asia Studies. "Not merely lyrical and strange, but also deadpan funny"--Miranda July. A centipede in a shoe, revelations in a shoebox, nosebleeds, exploding women, and a dead mouse named Miraculous populate this collection of thirty-five short stories from one of India's most original young writers. Kuzhali Manickavel was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, lived in various places around Canada, and moved to Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India when she was thirteen years old. Contrary to popular belief, she is not very much fond of insects.

I love this book. Collections of short stories by an intelligent and creative young woman. Also, super funny! Read this while on my trip to DC for the MFOL and I couldn‘t put it down.

Brief, surreal vignettes, where the border between the real and unreal is fluid. Although her characters are rooted in the world, these stories are like waking dreams. They probe isolation, dislocation, and dare to be jarring & strange. The wicked dry humour helps. #insects #JuneBookBugs @RealLifeReading

saresmoore This sounds great! And it's perfect for the prompt. 👏 7y
RealLifeReading Wow! Sounds great! 7y
batsy @saresmoore @RealLifeReading It really is. I'm not so into her second collection but to me this one is perfection. It's by an Indian publisher called Blaft; they put out some great, unique stuff. 7y
