Thematically linked and stylistically nimble, Sindu's pieces play with the fragmentary nature of memory and identity, her speakers traversing with intelligence and compassion the complexities of mental health, love, and pressurized relationships with the people closest to us-- those who love us intensely, even when they understand us the least.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSJ Sindu is a Tamil diaspora author of two literary novels, two hybrid chapbooks, and a graphic novel.
