Reviews

""The stories in Trachea are at once intimate and heartwarming. In his spare, unsentimental prose, Mayank Bhatt chronicles the life of the protagonist, deftly weaving the personal with the larger social and political fabric of the time. His writing evokes the spirit of old Bombay, while an understated humour and irony shine through the pages."" --Shaukat Ajmeri, author of Keepers of the Faith and Open Season ""In his trademark unvarnished writing style, Mayank Bhatt brings us multifarious stories about the people, relationships, and social worlds in both India and Toronto, that his character, Sharad, encounters on his life journey. I was compelled to follow Sharad from first to last, in this work that reveals itself as a bildungsroman. Bhatt takes us through places, events and episodes both complex and surprising, that illuminate the difficulties--and fascinations--of leaving one's home and country, and moving to another. Also illuminated are the struggles and joys of belonging to a family and community, and of being faithful, at the same time, to one's own dreams and aspirations."" --Dawn Promislow, author of Jewels and Other Stories and Wan
