George Elliott Clarke, author
“Sabyasachi Nag’s story cycle, Hands Like Trees, is Arundhati Roy as if written in the mode of Alice Munro. Nag is a masterful writer, presenting the oddities of here and the eccentricities of there. The migrant seeks Oz, but ends up in a Twilight Zone of the slippage between promise and fate, possibility and doom.”
Alissa York, author
“The stories in Hands Like Trees evoke a vivid, often disquieting world. Moving deftly from character to character, Sabyasachi Nag draws us deep inside a tangle of kinship to reveal secrets both guarded and shared. A fresh and fearless collection.”
The Miramichi Reader
“Highly recommended. This is an accomplished collection of short stories that will take the reader to new worlds and deeply intimate places.”
