Sibling Syndrome – Forbidden Romance & Erotica

Disturbing. Lyrical. Unflinching. Entirely, devastatingly human.

Every story in SIBLING SYNDROME approaches the same subject: desire between siblings, from a different cultural context, emotional register and literary tradition. The result is a book unlike any other currently in print: a sustained, multi-voiced literary investigation of the most transgressive form of human longing.

From a haunted haveli in Madhya Pradesh to a university rehearsal room in Minnesota. From a colonial drawing room on the eve of a society wedding to a hostel room in a city where rain makes everything more dangerous. From frozen ponds to Egyptian dream-memory, this collection is a world unto its own.

Somewhere between the stories you read here and the ones you will not admit to imagining, is the uncomfortable truth that literature exists to name: desire is not always reasonable, love is not always safe, and the people we are closest to are also the people most capable of undoing our ideas of innocence.
