Prophecies
Rupa Maitra’s début collection of short stories lures us into diverse worlds.
Some of Rupa Maitra’s stories spring from her background in music and medicine, some from her Bengali heritage — and all from a vivid imagination:
An inquisitive lab assistant, trampled by everyone, finally stands up for himself
A lonely Wadestown nanny finds solace in the kind actions of one of her charges
A disgraced doctor leaves medicine and becomes reclusive, taking up painting
Life unravels for a narcissistic professor
A child of immigrants explores what resonates when he has to examine his roots
Faced with the death of a friend, an elderly spinster reveals a long-held secret
A violinist relives grisly memories while playing for Prokofiev’s Cinderella
A woman’s sanity is tested as she becomes progressively more sleep-deprived.
