Existences

Existences is Shuvashree Chowdhury's debut collection of short stories. It is a rendering of a young woman's insights into human existences from a rich tapestry of social experiences in her own working life. The narratives in each short story are unique in their own way each form a collage to help see with clarity the simple things that give meaning to our lives. They are as much about women, as they are about people, events and life experiences all from the perspective of working women. Sensitive, analytical and empathetic in their approach and depiction of the nuances of human emotions these portrayals do not aim to judge people, rather project them humanely and with an acceptance of the vagaries of human existences.
