Ghosh, Puloma
Entry updated 11 November 2024. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) Indian-born author, in US from early childhood, who began to publish work of genre interest with "K" in One Story for 21 October 2021, much of whose work has been assembled as Mouth (coll 2024). Her stories comprise an intensely Equipoisal traversal and scrutiny of the toolkit of contemporary Fantastika; few of her tales are, therefore, in any traditional sense, "pure". The opening tale, "Desiccation", for instance refreshes Vampire Clichés by folding them into the protagonist's strategic coping with racial discrimination (see Race in SF), in a Near Future Dystopian world at the verge of war. A synergy of equipoise charges her work in general. More is awaited. [JC]
