Teresa's Man and Other Stories from Goa
In the title story, an ineffectual husband finally reaches his boiling point, 'Coinsanv's Cattle' is a heart-breaking depiction of how a farmer couple must make the impossible choice - send their beloved animals to slaughter or face starvation and, in the quietly humorous 'A Writer's Tale', a senior author becomes the unwitting subject of a woman's fiction. Compiled with care and smoothly, felicitously translated by Xavier Cota, Teresa's Man and Other Stories from Goa brings to readers tales which are as compellingly local in their flavour as they are universal in the ideas and emotions they evoke. This volume is a must-read.

Poskem
BOOK DESCRIPTION Goans are presently experiencing the last generation of Poskim— young children taken in by wealthy families and retained most often as servants. In a narrative that spans Portuguese Goa to post the liberation of India’s golden state, Poskem: Goans in the Shadows takes the reader to locales from Bombay to Lyon, Pune to Paris, and into the world of the Poskim people and Goan recipes. Through happiness and hope, despair and delusion, Rodricks writes of an unspoken, unheard of and shamefully silenced world of the last generation of a people that would soon be forgotten but for this book preserving their story for posterity.
