What is affection? Is it love? No, it goes deeper than that. Affection is the mother lode of the finest emotions, the wellspring that births love…of every genre. Affection resides in the core of all beings. When it gushes out spontaneously, it blesses both the giver and the given. The Anatomy of Affection is a collection of ten stories, each portraying a unique facet of that powerful sentiment. The protagonists of the stories come from different social strata, are of varied ages and gender, with divergent life experiences. However, their exceptional reciprocation to the call of affection gives each one a distinctive identity. Whether it is a village child or a son’s mother-love, a grieving husband or a misunderstood gay, an intellectual or a girl bound by traditions, a soldier or a highbrow snob in the throes of an epiphanic moment, each one’s response to circumstances that suddenly twist their lives is underscored by deep affection. Each story in this anthology dissects the anatomy of affection and is sure to touch unexplored nuggets of affection lying dormant in our hearts.
