The Piano

I’ve been meaning to read The Piano by Nandita Basu for a long time. I read and loved Rain Must Fall, and although Starry, Starry Night didn’t entirely work for me, I loved the idea and the artwork. The Piano is another lovely graphic novel, a sweeping story that takes us from 1912 to 2012 […]

The post The Piano appeared first on Varsha Seshan's Official Website.

“Truth is a well-known pathological liar. It invariably turns out to be Fiction wearing a fancy frock. Self-proclaimed Fiction, on the other hand, is entirely honest. You can tell this, because it comes right out and says, "I'm a Liar," right there on the dust jacket.”
