Rising to the Surface

Author(s): Latika Vasil

New Zealand Literature

A dazzling debut collection of stories by Latika Vasil. Latika was a prize-winner in the 2011 NZSA Asian Short Story Competition. Her portraits of disengaged and often idiosyncratic individuals, out of step with their worlds, are sketched with insight, compassion and humour. A businessman meets a tattoo artist on a plane and finds his world beginning to unravel. A rock star lookalike postie steals a postcard and has a change of luck. A lonely woman befriends the boy next door, who shares his love of pyrotechnic experiments and letters from Africa from his missionary mother.
