Cracks in the Wall | English | Neera Kashyap
Cracks in the Wall is a collection of short stories that deal with attempts to heal. It reveals multi-faceted struggles—mental, familial, societal—individuals confront as they navigate their fears, traumas and desires through their lives. It gives readers a window into the tumult that such a process entails, with insightful but often difficult revelations. Be it a working woman in an abusive marriage who finally finds the courage to seek help, a mother who has to choose between the government and rebels to keep her child safe, a wife who must come to terms with lost motherhood or a marriage stifled by megalomania, these stories mirror deep-rooted fractures both at a personal and social level.
The causes could be gender inequality, shame around addiction, mental abuse and conflicts between classes as well as between the urban and rural. Faith plays a role both incrementally and startlingly—the spiritual quest seeded randomly or through a slow process of transformation—as do dreams, to deepen understanding of the human psyche. Each story lets us enter a world within a world, inviting us to look closer into them.
