Filthy Sucre
"From the limitless imagination of Nod Ghosh, we readers are gifted with three novellas of impressive scope and depth. These narratives, deftly distilled and interwoven, speak to the vagaries of love and loss, of betrayal and intrigue. Brilliant, dark, and riveting, 'Filthy Sucre' is a collection by one of our best writers at the height of her powers." Kathy Fish, author of 'Wild Life: Collected Works from 2003-2018' "Nod Ghosh knows how to unspool a tale that keeps us turning pages, missing train stops, and binge-reading way into the night. The three flash novellas of 'Filthy Sucre' entice us into complex liaisons both acrid and sweet; to read her work is to become complicit in her clever webs of dysfunction, where guilt and innocence lose their boundaries and human nature is laid bare." Nancy Stohlman, author of 'Madam Velvet's Cabaret of Oddities' and 'The Vixen Scream and other Bible Stories'
