In Suki, fabulist Suniti Namjoshi weaves a delightful tapestry from threads of longing, loss, memory, metaphor, and contemplation. The whole picture is a stunning evocation of the love and friendship shared between S and her Super Cat, Suki, a lilac Burmese. Suki suggests that she could be a goddess, and S her high priestess. S declines, but as they discuss the merits of vegetarianism, or the meaning of happiness, or morality, or just daily life, it soon becomes clear that the bond between them is a deep and complex one. The days of Suki's life are figured as leaves, which fall vividly but irrevocably into time's stream and are recollected with a wild tenderness by the grieving S, who learns through the disciplines of meditation how to lose what is most loved. This beautiful narrative, both memoir and elegy, offers solace and celebration to everyone who has felt the trust that passes between a person and a beloved creature. Published by Zubaan.

The Fabulous Feminist

By: Suniti Namjoshi

It was on a sabbatical in England in the late seventies that Suniti Namjoshi discovered feminism—or rather, she discovered that other feminists existed, and many among them shared her thoughts and doubts, her questions and visions. Since then, she has been writing—fables, poetry, prose autobiography, children’s stories—about power, about inequality, about oppression, effectively using the power of language and the literary tradition to expose what she finds absurd and unacceptable. This new collection brings together in one volume a huge range of Namjoshi’s writings, starting with her classic collection, Feminist Fables, and coming right up to her latest work. Published by Zubaan.

Foxy Aesop :: On The Edge

By: Suniti Namjoshi

Very little is known about Aesop who was supposed to have been a slave on the island of Samos in the sixth century BC. It is his fables (and those attributed to him) that have come down to us through the centuries. In this version, a fabulist from the future, referred to as Sprite, hoicks herself back to his century. “Why didn’t you save the world?” That’s the Sprite’s cry. Aesop, meanwhile, is trying to save his skin, make up his fables and live his life. Given the pitfalls of human nature, are the fables an Instruction Manual for staying out of trouble? What about morals, what about reform, what about the castigation of social evils? Sprite nags and cajoles and begins to wonder how much power a writer really has. The book offers a virtuoso display of how the building blocks of a fable can be used in a variety of ways. It’s witty, it’s satirical and the Sprite herself is a comical figure. But at the end, when she has to return to her own time, that is to our own time and to our broken world, her central question suddenly seems less absurd, and far more urgent.

Goja

An Autobiographical Myth

By: Suniti Namjoshi

Suniti Namjoshi grew up between the rich and the poor, between the ruling house of the Ranisaheb and the servant woman Goja, between the East of experience and the West of the English language. These vast popularities are bridged within Suniti's growing consciousness as a child, student, teacher and writer. This book recaptures the impact of growing up in India and moving to the West. Seeing the West from the perspective of the East and seeing the East from the perspective of the West juxtapose and mirror each other.

Beautiful and the Cyberspace Runaway

By: Suniti Namjoshi

Holiday plans for Aditi and the others go off track when a runaway computer programme, the irrepressible Mistress i, decides to take refuge with them. Hot on her heels is the scientist who created her, who threatens to put them in jail for kidnapping. And in the midst of all the commotion, Beautiful the elephant is determined to learn to be everything she thinks she isn't rational, sensible, logical and equable. From their peaceful home in Maharashtra, India, Aditi and her friends are catapulted into a strange encounter with cyberspace. In her astonishingly simple way, Suniti Namjoshi explores the connection between the two worlds cyber and real and throws up some interesting thoughts: Does a computer have a soul? And is 'getting updated' the equivalent of 'growing up'?

Monkeyji and the Word Eater

By: Suniti Namjoshi

The 'monster' turns out to be just a little boy. Otto, Grendel's cousin -but he has formidable mental powers that can be matched only by Monkeyji. Armed with an ammunition of words hoarded by Siril and Gardy, the adventurers roam Hong Kong the city of dragons in search of him. There is tension and taut excitement as they finally take on little Otto and his platoon of crows, in the midst of which the author throws up an interesting idea: does something exist only if it has a name?

Siril and the Spaceflower

By: Suniti Namjoshi

Siril the ant is not his practical, rational self at all. He gazes at the sky all night, mumbles to himself, doesn't answer when spoken to... Beautiful is puzzled and upset. Is he in love? She is even more startled when she discovers that he intends to build a spaceship and fly to one of Jupiter's moons, in response to a sad cry for help! In spite of Beautiful's misgivings, the adventurers do zoom into space with the help of anti-gravity pads, the scientific genius of the Techno Sage, and some very useful mind power from the other sages. But can they really help a moon correct its path? A sci-fi fan herself, Suniti Namjoshi takes the genre way beyond its usual orbit, combining the thrill and beauty of the world beyond with gentle sentiment and unusual insights.
