Assured and accomplished, Pradeep Jeganathan's long awaited debut collection of short fiction is a spare, controlled meditation on the details of inhabitations: power and inequality, friendship and enmity, love and loss, violence and its memories.

The seven interconnected stories span a near thirty years of Sri Lanka's recent past; each traces a delicately textured frame of troubling, telling beauty, weaving together, with almost incredible economy, not the often composed picture of Sri Lanka - a paradise isle where 'only man is vile' - but a life-world, lived and remembered, to be lived in again.
