"
Her prose is very rich." — Mar 13, 2026 11:36PM
"
One hand is curved around her belly, which swells under her sari skirt. Her breasts are heavy. She feels full of sap, like a plant with a seedling buried deep in the intricate unknown passageways of her body. Her feet are swollen, tender. The thongs of her rubber slippers stretched painfully over her arches have made her forswear footwear.

“Some of the aunties in Dial A for Aunties speak the sort of broken English that my parents’ generation does. Their grasp of the English language is not a reflection of their intelligence, but a reflection of the sacrifice that they have made for us. They are, in essence, trilingual, and I am so proud of this heritage.”

“And the ones who disappear, they don't know that they're going to. They disappear without knowing. Just like that. They go away and then nobody sees them any more.”
