Suniti Namjoshi’s compelling tales range from metamorphosed cows to ruling mothers, from talking donkeys to epic villains. In this substantial collection are fables old and new, lyric poems and epigrams, novella narratives and ironic commentary. We also complete the Ravana trilogy with Shupi’s Choices and Kumbh, with villainous siblings who are sometimes ridiculous, but ready to show up for own shortcomings.

Matriarchs, Cows and Epic Villains is a curation of Suniti's work where she continues to raise questions about how we deal with our destiny as human beings while at the same time trying to understand and confront our inadequacies.
 

Review

There is something about the authorial ‘voice’ which recalls the Indian katha style of narrative … The ‘voice’ is there, helpfully warm, wrapping around us in a friendly tone. It is our own Indian katha tone, telling us fables. -- Lakshmi Kannan - The Times of India

Suniti Namjoshi is one of the most brilliant living writers I know… Namjoshi’s host of fabulous creature-protagonists … constitute perhaps the most engaging dimension of her work. -- Ruth Vanita - Ruth Vanita
