Book: The Hunger That Moved a Goddess and Other Stories Author: Endapalli Bharathi Publisher: SouthSide Books

In these captivating stories, Endapalli Bharathi brings to life the heart of a small Telugu-speaking community, shining a spotlight on the women who sustain it. Here, individual voices blend into a collective chorus, celebrating the joys and weathering the challenges of village life through shared routines and cultural traditions. These tales don't chase neat endings; instead, they mirror the flow of life itself: open-ended and authentic. What sets this collection apart is its rare, intimate glimpse into the world of village women, a perspective seldom explored with such depth in Indian Dalit literature.
