Status Updates From A Night with a Black Spider...

Tamil writer Ambai sets a series of short stories in the world of women, Carnatic music and journeys. Other than a couple of stories, it did not mostly appeal to me. Maybe I was expecting a closure in every story and none was forthcoming.

Simple stories. Yet depth too. At times, I want to put the book down and take it in. But then again, I don't want to either.

The stories so far are simple, speak of Indian life and are at times relatable too. There's beauty in Ambai's words, and reflects in the translation too.
