520 1 $a"In the title story, an Indian man's chance exposure to a Western-style porn film affects not only his marriage - his wife hides for hours, then days, then weeks at a time from his renewed desire - but also his neighborhood, as traditional notions of marriage, intimacy, and propriety confront the unspeakable, and the tacitly alluring.
520 8 $aIn "The Sculptor of Sands," a mystical tale with the depth and resonance of legend, a slight young man's sensuous sand sculptures transfix a seaside community and, despite their evanescence, leave an indelible impression on the women of the town. In "My Grandfather Dreams of Fences," an aging landlord, convinced that his worker is stealing his land, desperately clings to the vestiges of a rigid class system, erecting fences with fervor while his dignity falls into disrepair.
520 8 $aAnd in "The Lodger in Room 726," a boy who daily brings breakfast to the new tenant in a rooming house unleashes a cascade of emotions previously unknown to him when he pursues his fantasy that the man is a well-known murderer on the lam."--BOOK JACKET.
