The 12 stories in this book, originally written and published in
Malayalam over a period of almost two decades, represent different
phases in E. Santhosh Kumar’s writing career spanning a quarter of
a century. Hence the themes are different, though there are
undercurrents that connect them like a blood stream. As the author
says, ‘working on a story is like working on a life, a set of
characters around the geography where they live … while writing
stories at least, writers do play God, in their little way.’

A Fistful of Mustard Seeds
explores moral dilemmas, personal traumas and delves into the dark
recesses of the soul. These insightful and deeply moving stories
illuminate the elevations and abysses of the human condition.
Sensitive, thought-provoking and perceptive, each story is a vignette
into a different realm of emotional experience.
