In this unique anthology, sixteen of India’s best known writers goon the road to uncover the country’s aids epidemic: The trucker who makes his punishing all night journeys; the disaffected youth in the northeast, many of whom are now injecting drug users; and the housewives whohave unknowingly contracted the disease from their husbands.
