Why read it?

1 author picked The Conversations of Cow as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book for its humour, magical qualities, deceptively simple language, and the way it weaves together Hindu and Western ideas of transformation.

I have taught it in many different types of classes and my students also loved its unique portrait of the artist as a young Indian woman, a lesbian living in the West. It was a great way to introduce them to India. I am an admirer of Suniti Namjoshi, and this is my favourite among her works.

From Ruth's list on lesbian and gay literary fiction.
