A struggling single mother listens to her little girl's urgent and original projects to bring them riches. The arctic landscapes of her childhood reading shift strangely when a woman decides to visit them for herself. Another story describes an ordinary afternoon where nothing really happens--except that dreamscapes resurface with an undertow of remembered pain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStories posses a fine-grained sense of place-claustrophobic tharavads, forest sounds, the songs of fishermen. Sexual violence is explored in all its complexity--male fears, a girl's pleasure in her body, recurring encounters with casual abuse, with fiction that does violence to female experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE EDITOR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSREEDEVI K NAIR teaches English at the N SS College for Women, Thiruvananthapuram, Her book Malayalathinte Kathaakaarikal caries interviews of Ten Malayalm women writers, and she has received the Kerala Lalithakala Akademi Award for translation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION: EMBODYING THE NEW WOMAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
