Where The Long Grass Bends Stories
Author: Neela Vaswani

"Fierce and bold, these beautiful stories provide a highly kinetic exploration of sameness and difference in terms of ethnic and racial origin. Through a romp of language_vital, outrageous, unpredictable_the fireworks of Neela Vaswani_s original genius cast shadows and illumine psyches that conventional monovisions never perceive. The stories of... more » Where the Long Grass Bends are for readers willing to view the shape-shifting of both reality and literary form. Vaswani_s characters embrace their fates through such rigorous birthing that what has been internal finally contains and defines them."_Sena Jeter Naslund"If it is true, as one of Vaswani_s characters claims, that a musical movement is the equivalent of a sentence, then the stories in Where the Long Grass Bends comprise an uncanny and beautiful symphony. This is a luminous collection, where each fiction evolves its own mythology. I want to live in the world of these stories just as I am afraid of this beautiful and often dark world. Neela Vaswani_s Where the Long Grass Bends is lovely, strange, lyrical, full of true mystery."_Victoria RedelWhere the Long Grass Bends is a delight of invention and language. In whirling, catch-me-if-you-can prose, Vaswani tells stories that subvert conventional narrative by employing Indian lore, Gaelic fable, and historical legend. Spare, fierce, and unpredictable, this debut collection is boundless, even boundary-less, because Vaswani has, as David Garnett said of Virginia Woolf, a mind that sticks to nothing.Neela Vaswani lives in New York. Her short stories have appeared in numerous journals, including Prairie Schooner, American Literary Review, and Global City Review. In 1999, she was awarded the Italo Calvino Prize. She is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Maryland, and teaches in the Master of Fine Arts in Writing program at Spalding University. Where the Long Grass Bends is the sixty-third title to be published by Sarabande Books, a nonprofit literary press headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. Founded in 1994 to publish poetry and short fiction, Sarabande's mission is to disburse these works with diligence and integrity, and to serve as an educational resource to teachers and students of creative writing. Since the 1996 debut of the press, our titles have received positive review attentions from nationally distinguished media including The New York Times Book Review, Publisher's Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, American Book Review, Small Press, The Nation, and Library Journal.
