"From the limitless imagination of Nod Ghosh, we readers are gifted with three novellas of impressive scope and depth. These narratives, deftly distilled and interwoven, speak to the vagaries of love and loss, of betrayal and intrigue. Brilliant, dark, and riveting, 'Filthy Sucre' is a collection by one of our best writers at the height of her powers." ~ Kathy Fish, author of 'Wild Life: Collected Works from 2003-2018' "Nod Ghosh knows how to unspool a tale that keeps us turning pages, missing train stops, and binge-reading way into the night. The three flash novellas of 'Filthy Sucre' entice us into complex liaisons both acrid and sweet; to read her work is to become complicit in her clever webs of dysfunction, where guilt and innocence lose their boundaries and human nature is laid bare." ~ Nancy Stohlman, author of 'Madam Velvet's Cabaret of Oddities' and 'The Vixen Scream and other Bible Stories'

A woman is reunited with her estranged father, a proud man whose outlook is shaped by one of history's forgotten tragedies, the Partition of India in 1947. "As always with flash at its best, the power is in the space between the words. In 'The Crazed Wind', Ghosh provides a lush, unique collection of flash fiction, taking the reader from past to present day India and back, on a turbulent journey through cultural and family divides, leaving a disquieting truth." ~ Eileen Merriman, author of 'Pieces of You' and 'Catch Me When You Fall' "'The Crazed Wind' is an ambitious, cleverly crafted work. The core relationship between a daughter and her father is examined with psychological astuteness that lends itself to compassion towards both. Using a hybrid of fiction, non-fiction, prose poetry, and playful structures, Ghosh creates an entertaining, unexpected series of pieces that blend to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts." ~ Stephanie Hutton, author of 'Three Sisters of Stone'
