{"product_id":"half-a-kilo-mixture-ranjitha-ashok-9781639046331","title":"Half a Kilo Mixture: A Collection of Short Stories","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe fifteen stories in this collection are a blend of varied human experiences, characters, emotions, moods, and times. A bit like the diverse ingredients, textures and flavours that come together in 'mixture'!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTragedy forges a link beyond time through an author's works; a philosopher-thief expresses himself in a language unique to his city; the ancient, the inert, reach out to be heard; a celebration of a long-vanished river draws an unexpected presence. A surprising bond between the deceased and 'the emissary' forms 'over' death ceremonies; a long-ago act of anger offers a glimpse into a vanishing way of life. Two stories draw their essence from the Mahabharatha - one gives voice to lives crushed by choices they did not make, while another explores the thoughts of one of the epic's more enigmatic characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the landscape largely reflects a South Indian, at times Chennai-centric, milieu, the stories, filled with empathy, humour, and explorations into what it is to be human, speak to everyone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ranjitha Ashok\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 163904633X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639046331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Notion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Ranjitha Ashok","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485728354559,"sku":"9781639046331","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61824e83-0dcd-4413-afc5-a6c25a1b2128.jpg?v=1778051183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/half-a-kilo-mixture-ranjitha-ashok-9781639046331","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
