‘ Aneeta’ s chosen medium of the short story is apt. She does not disappoint.’
— Cyril Pereira, Former Publisher, Asia Magazine
A collection of hard-hitting vignettes grounded in mental health issues set in contemporary Malaysia
Meet a diverse range of protagonists from classical Indian dancers, toddlers
engaging with spirits, mothers losing their children because of inequitable
laws, men lacking self-worth, and divorcees mulling failed marriages, to
people facing the probable stigmatization of homosexuality, narcissism,
sibling rivalry, bullying, spiritual abuse, clandestine adoptions, autism,
environmental disasters, and more.
Tapestry of the Mind and Other Stories is the author’ s literary love affair
with trying to make sense of the human psyche. Like all love affairs, specific
and unique cultural, ethnic, and religious differences give rise to moments of
betrayal, poignancy, heartache, and much mirth in these stories.
Ultimately, this haunting collection pieces together an everlasting tapestry of
words rooted in brutal honesty. When viewed as a whole, it brings to light
issues long avoided, evaded, or hidden.
