“Relatively True<\/em>\u00a0is a vibrant collection of short stories that reflects on the porous boundaries separating lies, half-truths, and the truth. We live in a world of elastic truth, click-bait, disinformation and fake identities. Opinions, beliefs and conspiracy theories clamour to be given equal time and weight with facts. Whose truth is more relevant and meaningful\u2014yours or mine? The stories in\u00a0Relatively True<\/em> confront and address this question, and more, in surprising and inventive ways. Each narrative probes the vexing impact that fluctuating ideas of truth have on us. From self-deception to trickery on a wider scale, this anthology of short fiction from Australia and South Asia enchants, provokes and enlightens, from the first story to the last.”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI found them a superb collection! Launched the very first volume when I was in Sydney, wrote the Foreword for one, and moderated a panel dicussion with the volume la7nched by the then Australian High Commissioner to India Harinder Sidhu. Efforts like these volumes bring people together. Hopefully, they can be part of the syllabus someday. I have great respect for the initiative.\u201d<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
