Breaking the Bow: Speculative Fiction Inspired by the Ramayana

A long time ago, a young prince, the heir to a great South Asian
kingdom, wielded Siva's mighty bow and won the heart of a young
princess.
The story of what happened next to the married couple,
the epic tale of the Ramayana, told and re-told countless times over the
centuries, begins where most stories end. The twenty-five stories in Breaking the Bow
take a similar courageous leap into the unknown. Inspired by the
Ramayana and its cultural importance, the anthology dares to imagine new
worlds.
Here you will find magic realist and surreal stories.
Robot and cyberpunk stories. Fantasy and science fiction stories.
Hard-to-classify stories. Authors include some of the best writers in
contemporary South Asian fiction -- including Abha Dawesar, Priya
Sarukkai Chabria, Tabish Khair, Kuzhali Manickavel, Mary Anne Mohanraj
and Manjula Padmanabhan -- from India, Sri Lanka and Thailand, as well
as Holland, Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Breaking the Bow is a collection of brilliant, original and beautifully told stories, guaranteed to enlighten and entertain.
