Pao!

Thrilled about the launch of Pao Collective's graphic anthology, Pao. Published by Penguin, cover art by Orijit Sen.

As Vishwajyoti Ghosh of the Pao Collective says in an interview that appears in the Sunday Guardian:

'All the stories in this book are previously unpublished stories. Besides the five of us, there are artists like Priya Kuriyan, Shohei Emura, Sanjay Ghosh, Ikroop Sandhu; writers like Salil Chaturvedi, Ambarish Satwik, Vidhyun Sabhaney and filmmakers like Iram Ghufran." With such an impressive miscellany of talents on board, this is one book you would be well-advised to keep an eye out for.

My story, The Pink, has been illustrated by my talented friend, Priya Kuriyan:

The anthology is available in stores in August, I'm told, and Flipkart offers a modest 8% discount on it. Can't wait to get my copy and read all the other stories, and enjoy the rain here in Chorao...yum, yum!
