The Gold of the Sunbeams and other stories
by Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay

A beautiful collection of tales and stories, each prefaced by a charming note from Tito explaining how the story came into being. These often exotic, always poetic, stories are not only small gems in themselves but offer insights into the workings of the autistic mind that change thinking about, or judging, people with that affliction. Above all, this is the work of a true poet.
Soma's introduction sets the tone for this latest manifestation of her son's extraordinary talent.
