Each of these stories belongs to a distinct genre: in "Shakti," a love story, two feuding families are suited by forbidden passion in "Dharma, " a ghost story, a soldier forced to save his life by amputating his own leg returns home to find that his house is haunted by the spirit of a small child; and in "Komo," a mystery, a detective takes on a murder case and finds himself traveling deep into the farthest reaches of carnality and deceit. Tightly controlled and luminously written, these beguiling. these beguiling tales prove once again that ikram Chandra is one of the most original and accomplished writers at work today.
