My review of poet Āruni Kāshyaps debut fiction The House with a Thousand Stories. I liked how Kashyap breaks a basic rule of plotting a book: giving away what happens next. It is a mark of his confidence as a writer; he knows his storytelling will keep the reader hooked. From time to time he rotates the plot on the pivots of the story: Boben’s death, Aaita the grandmother on deathbed, Oholya’s temper, Pablo’s encounter with Anamika, Mridul’s love for the Nepali wine seller’s daughter Manju, the jurun ... for the wedding, the suicide and so on. This is what lays layer upon layer of the thousand stories.
