A Moment of Madness

This month Archipelago Books publishes a collection of stories, For Now, It is Night, from Kashmiri writer Hari Krishna Kaul.

The sensations of reading Kaul are akin to those felt when watching the masters of slow-paced cinema, like Bresson or Bela Tarr. As in a Tarr film, the point is not to extrapolate a larger meaning from a roadside encounter or a simple transaction; the point is to immerse oneself in the details of ordinary life and the texture of a moment.
