Panty
by Sangeeta Bandyopadhyay

Description
A woman arrives alone in Kolkata, taking refuge in a deserted apartment while she waits to undergo an unspecified surgery.In this disorienting city, everything seems new and strange: the pavement-dwellers outside her block, the collective displays of religiosity, the power cuts and alarming acts of arson.Tags

A collection of stream-of-consciousness vignettes (though whose consciousness we are observing is not always clear), the story behind 'Panty' often struggles to emerge, which is a shame as there were parts of this tale that I found rather absorbing. The rest - and especially the wooden dialogue - did not work for me.
