oapen-20.500.12657-427842020-11-03T01:39:39Z The Train That Had Wings Mukundan, M. Davis, Donald Literature The Train That Had Wings presents modern life in Kerala in terms of a shared but tragically compromised humanity. Mukundan dares to look beneath the routines and facades of everyday life in order to probe depth of sin, greed, and hypocrisy but also to rediscover what brings joy and hope. Sixteen short story translations and a critical introduction, offering examples of Mukundan's realistic, existentialist, psychedelic, and parabolic stories, show his range and talent for the very short story. If Hawthorne wrote “twice told tales,” Mukundan writes half-told tales, stories that jump in the middle, stomp around for just a minute, and leap away almost before the reader can settle in. Half-told, but a powerful and infectious half. 2020-11-02T10:12:54Z 2020-11-02T10:12:54Z 2020 book ONIX_20201102_9780472901678_12 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/42784 eng application/pdf n/a 9780472901678.pdf https://cdcshoppingcart.uchicago.edu/Cart2/ChicagoBook.aspx?ISBN=9780891480914&press=umich University of Michigan Press U OF M CENTER FOR SOUTH ASIAN STUDIES 10.3998/mpub.165021 10.3998/mpub.165021 e07ce9b5-7a46-4096-8f0c-bc1920e3d889 U OF M CENTER FOR SOUTH ASIAN STUDIES 153 open access

The Train That Had Wings presents modern life in Kerala in terms of a shared but tragically compromised humanity. Mukundan dares to look beneath the routines and facades of everyday life in order to probe depth of sin, greed, and hypocrisy but also to rediscover what brings joy and hope. Sixteen short story translations and a critical introduction, offering examples of Mukundan's realistic, existentialist, psychedelic, and parabolic stories, show his range and talent for the very short story. If Hawthorne wrote “twice told tales,” Mukundan writes half-told tales, stories that jump in the middle, stomp around for just a minute, and leap away almost before the reader can settle in. Half-told, but a powerful and infectious half.
