商品簡介
商品簡介
An immersive, globe-trotting short story collection from the National Jewish Book Award-winning author of A Play for the End of the World ("an impressive debut" --Meg Wolitzer).
In the fourteen dazzling stories that make up this collection, Jai Chakrabarti crosses continents and cultures to excavate the lives of people in the throes of change. A closeted gay man in 1980's Kolkata seeks to have a child with his lover's wife. An Indian widow, engaged to a Jewish man, struggles to balance her cultural identity with the rituals and traditions of her newfound family. An American musician travels to see his guru for the final time--and makes a promise he cannot keep. A young woman from an Indian village arrives in Brooklyn to caretake the toddler of a biracial couple. And a mystical agent is sent by a mother to solve her son's domestic problems. Throughout, it is the character's most vulnerable desires that power life-altering decisions. The stories in A Small Sacrifice for an Enormous Happiness capture men and women struggling with transformation and familial bonds; they traverse the intersections of countries and cultures to illuminate what it means to love in uncertain times; and they showcase the skill of a storyteller who dazzles with the breadth of his vision.
