A dead woman's old saris adorn the days/lives of the women in the neighbourhood. A fan has his first brush with his idol. A child conceived through IVF wonders at the bond that binds her to her family, and the siblings who 'could have been'. A pair of lovers dreams of floating away into a world where the disappointments of domesticity and stale love would never touch them. A girl copes with her periods in a classroomful of pre-pubescent girls. Polymorphism presents nineteen stories that shift realities and twist perceptions and veer on the edge of strange, slipstream, speculative fiction. While the vulnerabilities and the wild, visceral anxieties of the characters that populate the stories come alive, there's also a sense of empathy towards them. Humanity's driving obsession with the act of living, fertility and relationships, all find a tender, surreal expression in this collection.
