"I greatly admire Gigi Ganguly's vivid and beautiful writing, and I loved this novella." — Joseph O'Connor, award-winning novelist and Professor of Creative Writing

"This story calls Bradbury and King to mind, but Gigi Ganguly cuts her own path here with an evocative mixture of psychological realism, magic realism, and the uncanny. The interconnected tales that make up this novella are by themselves unnerving, tragic, and hilarious meditations on memory, loss, and regret; combined, they form something unique that will linger with the reader, as enigmatic as the mysterious repair shop that links them. From the Old Delhi setting to the ensemble cast of characters, all wounded by personal or family history, this is an extraordinary debut." — Jack Fennell, writer and anthologist

"Gigi is the kind of writer who strives to bring light and joy into her readers' lives. One Arm Shorter Than The Other is a gorgeous, skillfully wrought, millennia-spanning feat of imagination, written with warmth and tenderness and great humour. I was enchanted by this novel, and uplifted. This kind of story is good for the soul." — Donal Ryan, four-time Irish Book Award winner

"A story that is both heartwarming and mind bending, One Arm Shorter Than The Other is a startlingly original work." — Reviewer Wyn Lewis, 5 Stars

One Arm Shorter Than The Other explores genre categorization by weaving quiet fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, and literary prose within a two-part novella format. The author (Gigi Ganguly, she/her, India) and cover illustrator (Haricha Abdaal, she/her, UK) are BIPOC women, and the editor (E.D.E. Bell, she/her or e/em, US) is a queer and mentally disabled cassgender woman. The book is written in Indian English.

The story is presented gently, and is appropriate for most ages. We hope that One Arm Shorter Than The Other will reach broad and unexpected audiences, ranging from speculative fiction readers, literary readers, readers of South Asian and global storytelling, and students of culture and writing.

We have styled the cover as Gigi Ganguly’s One Arm Shorter Than The Other in the spirit of the feelings of sensory media within the story, but the book may be appropriately referred to as either Gigi Ganguly’s One Arm Shorter Than The Other or One Arm Shorter Than The Other by Gigi Ganguly. The title is intentionally styled with all words capitalized. A hard G is used to pronounce all G’s in the author’s name.

The novella release date is 05 April 2022, and we welcome any opportunity to promote this title in advance. We are a small press who has struggled greatly through the pandemic, and hope so much for this book to be seen and enjoyed so we can continue to bring books like this to life.

We welcome blog posts and reviews. The author is available for interviews and podcasts. We encourage interested booksellers, libraries, schools, or clubs to request print ARCs.

Thank you so much for your interest and support.

[Image Description: The cover is patterned with a large, Delhi-style silvertoned jali over a delicate medium-jade-colored background and wound with small rose-colored roses. Overtop are stretched two arms, medium-toned, hands wrinkled with age, and wearing loose beige sleeves. Between them in a modern dark emerald-color is "Gigi Ganguly's One Arm Shorter Than The Other."]
