    Kalamazoo: Growing Up Sideways in the 1970s

    by Martin Winch
    "So this is the waxing nostalgia of adolescent boyhood in Kalamazoo. Stupid stunts, drugs/booze, girls. The writing is kind of redneck with a lot of boner talk, getting in fights, trying to cop a feel. I was strangely fascinated by it. Apparently, there's a part two to it, I want it. It's not really romanticized and it's not a bummer, it's just a story. It's good." Marissa Magic Maximum RockNRoll magazine

  • Onto the Stage - Slighted Souls and other stage and radio plays

    by BS Murthy

    This is a compendium of the author’s Indian stage and radio plays:

    "Slighted Souls" is a poignant love story set in rural Telangana, beset with feudal exploitation of the downtrodden dalits. Besides forcing the dalits to toil in the fields as bonded labor without impunity, the land owning doras had no qualms in reducing the womenfolk of this ilk as sex slaves in the gadis.

  • Jewel-less Crown: Saga of Life

    by BS Murthy

    It's perilous penning this blurb.

    It's fine when man is modest about his work.

    It even affords him the aura of an invisible crown!

    But what about his work?

    Were it an art or craft, it is there for all to see.

    What of a literary work of an unheralded author?

    Well, lauding the same might raise one's eyebrows.

    Failing to praise wouldn't make a 'jewel-less crown' either!

    Why not see, if this is the great Indian novel.

    This philosophical ‘novel of a memoir’ is a compelling read that is conducive to... more

  • Crossing the Mirage - Passing through youth

    by BS Murthy

    If passing through youth was like crossing the mirage of life for Chandra and Nithya, it proved to be chasing the mirage of love for Sathya and Prema though for plain Vasavi, Chandra's pitiable sibling, it was the end of the road.

    As life brings Chandra, who suffers from an inferiority complex for his perceived ugliness, and Nithya, who was bogged down being jilted by Vasu, together, they script their fate of fulfillment.

    And as poetic justice would have it, Sathya, who caused... more
