Publisher Description "Swamys A House Is a Body will not simply be talked about as one of the greatest short story collections of the 2020s; it will change the way all stories – short and long – are told, written, and consumed. There is nothing, no emotion, no tiny morsel of memory, no touch, that this book does not take seriously. Yet, A House Is a Body might be the most fun Ive ever had in a short story collection." —Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy Dreams collide with reality, modernity with antiquity, and myth with identity in the twelve arresting stories of A House Is a Body. In "Earthly Pleasures," a young painter living alone in San Francisco begins a secret romance with one of Indias biggest celebrities, and desire and ego are laid bare. In "A Simple Composition," a husbands professional crisis leads to his wifes discovery of a dark, ecstatic joy. And in the title story, an exhausted mother watches, hypnotised by fear, as a California wildfire approaches her home. Immersive and assured, provocative and probing, these are stories written with the edge and precision of a knife blade. Set in the United States and India, they reveal small but intense moments of beauty, pain, and power that contain the world.A House Is a Body introduces a bold and original voice in fiction, from a writer at the start of a stellar career.
