Recenzii
"Entirely original, ironic, sensuous but never sexist. A small masterpiece and a precious piece of the record of good writing on this planet."—Wendy Doniger, University of Chicago Divinity School
"A unique work. There is no similar or comparable anthology for any Indian literature, let alone Telugu. All of the translations are exquisite and learned, a rare combination indeed."—Phyllis Granoff, McMaster University
