Set in the largely unexplored terrain of rural Odisha, The Little Monk and Other Stories explore human nature. Whether it's a small boy forced to be a monk, a son with mixed feeling towards his sick father, a child coming to terms with the difference between appearance and reality or crooked officials getting their comeuppance when least expected, each story chronicles life as it is, a difficult journey, yet not without hope.
