Apsara Engine
[United States] : The Feminist Press at CUNY, 2021.
Format: Ebook
Description: 1 online resource (250 pages)
The eight delightfully eerie stories in Apsara Engine are a subtle intervention into everyday reality. A woman drowns herself in a past affair, a tourist chases another guest into an unforeseen past, and a nonbinary academic researches postcolonial cartography. Imagining diverse futures and rewriting old mythologies, these comics delve into strange architectures, fetishism, and heartbreak. Painted in rich, sepia-toned watercolors, Apsara Engine is Bishakh Som's highly anticipated debut work of fiction. Showcasing a series of fraught, darkly humorous, and seemingly alien worlds-which ring all too familiar-Som captures the weight of twenty-first-century life as we hurl ourselves forward into the unknown.
