By the Book: The Elephant Trophy by Paul GnanaSelvam

The Elephant Trophy and Other Stories is a collection of 18 short stories, taking a slice-of-life approach to depicting the nuances and experiences of the Indian community and diaspora in Malaysia. We speak to Paul GnanaSelvam about the stories, what inspires him as a writer, and why he enjoys writing shorter yarns. Then, in Footnotes, we review the book.
