{"product_id":"fish-in-a-dwindling-lake","title":"Fish in a Dwindling Lake","description":"\u003cp\u003eA collection of bold, contemporary and unique stories, told from a woman's gaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body was the only truth she knew. It was the body alone that was left, even as she went beyond the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJourneys form the leitmotif of these astonishing new stories by Ambai. Sometimes culminating in an unconventional love affair, some are extraordinary tales of loyalty and integrity; others touch on the almost fantastic, absurd aspect of Mumbai. Yet others explore the notion of a wholesome self, and its tragic absence at times. These stories are illuminated by vivid and unusual characters: from an eccentric, penurious singer-couple who adopt an ape as their son, to a male prostitute, who is battered by bimbos for not giving full satisfaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrucially, some of the stories, like the titular one, engage uninhibitedly with a woman's relationship to her body. For Ambai, feminist par excellence, the sensual body, experienced as a natural landscape changing with age, is at the same time, the only vehicle of life and tool for mapping the external world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ambai, Lakshmi Holmstrom (Tr.)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964645765167,"sku":"9780143414056","price":250.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/fishinadwindlinglake.jpg?v=1771578290","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/fish-in-a-dwindling-lake","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
