Ram Kumar has been wielding the pen for almost as long as he has the brush and this collection of short stories shows the artist is a master with words as well.
Twelve stories, originally written in Hindi, are miniature human documents that touch suppressed chords and repressed memories, and are deeply moving in their sparse, taut style. The stories are interspersed with 24 beautiful drawings by the artist.

Interspersed with 24 full-colour illustrations by the artist himself, this will become a much loved volume for anyone interested in the works of one of India's most significant creative talents.
