Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unudurti Sudhakar is in his home ground when telling stories from north-coastal Andhra Pradesh. With his deep knowledge of the region’s culture, he sets his stories in specific historical situations and contexts. His stories span a long period from antiquity to the present day - from declining Buddhist viharas and bustling sea-ports of the first millennium to the days of the colonialists and zamindars and finally to the tragedies of the Naxalite revolt in Srikakulam. His characters, tragic and comic, are caught up in a society going through the throes of change. A vivid introduction to a part of India that is not well represented in literature.
