BUNDLE 1
The Joys and Irritations of Family
A tribute to the people we return to in summer—reflections on a father’s fondness for gardening and politics, an homage to mothers, grandmothers and millet, and stories of family ties that injure and heal.
BUNDLE 2
New Year’s Resolutions
From what nutmeg can tell us about globalisation, to the resilience of cooperatives as alternatives within capitalism, to a bibliophile’s soliloquy on the act of reading.
BUNDLE 3
Going Away, Coming Home
Young doctors leave their home in Kerala to work in Mecca, travellers arrive in a rural Indian town where the hair on every child’s head is white, and a true story of a 56-year-old artist on a madcap mission to sell Hindi translations of Samurai manga.
BUNDLE 4
Love and Laziness
For staying indoors to the exquisite pleasures of idleness and banter, and refusing to take the world seriously.
BUNDLE 5
Reading with Little Spoor
In this bundle for younger readers, a girl creates an app to help her mother’s henna business, a promising cricketer loses his arm, and a group of friends are frozen out of the popular groups at school.
