In the title story a sweeper discovers a cache of black money and escapes to see the Taj Mahal with his underage mistress; in 'Mohandas' a Dalit races to reclaim his life stolen by an upper-caste identity thief; and in 'Mangosil' a baby's head gets bigger and bigger as he gets smarter and smarter, while his family tries to find a cure. The stories in this collection are a testament to Uday Prakash's extraordinary gift as a storyteller and his original, bold voice."--
