Potpourri
In her first collection of short stories, Prabhakar constructs and narrates the remarkable texture and pathos of ordinary lives. The protagonists here are ordinary people confronted with difficult situations, Weaknesses and unaccountable desires. Most of these tales beckon innocently, draw you int their depths and finally close with a twist and a tidy snap. She's at herbest evoking the dilemmas, pain and strange joys of childhood and adolescence.
