The Rakshasas and Certain Other Inventions (A Collection of Short Stories)

The Rakshasas and Certain Other Inventions contains the award winning concept and story that won the The Times and Scottish Book Trust Jura Malt New Writer Award, one of the most prestigious International New Writing Awards. The stories deal with mundane and ordinary living, revealing the varied fissures that appear and disappear in the same as well the extraordinarily surreal human imagination that enables us to view life differently, more magically and with greater acuity. The prose is lyrical and created like imagist poetry – wherein every sentence is written spontaneously image after image. These stories are about the child-like sense of play, exploration and wonder which truly make life worthwhile. The primary point these stories make is that the best way to grow up and live life is to continuously view all of life's experiences through the lens of a child, artist and myth maker.
