About this Item

A vivid collection of voices from Goa, Appetite: New Writing from Goa explores the tangled web of human desire in its various manifestations and the deeply rooted traditions that define (a form of) Goan identity today.

From stories of late-night feasts gone awry in bustling family living rooms, to poems that trace lustful longing and essays that reflect on diaspora and in-migration, each piece captures what it feels like to truly yearn. The anthology moves effortlessly between the intimate and the expansive, from the salty tang of the sea and the delicate twang of a rebec to the inner landscapes of complex characters wrestling with love, loss, sexuality and identity.

Rooted in the state?s history yet alive to its present, Appetite is a heartfelt tribute to Goa itself?its salt-washed shores, spice-laden air, delectable cuisine and the unquenchable appetite that pulses at the heart of the land and its people. The Goa Writers invite readers to savour not only the stories told, but the world that makes them possible.
