Who is Kuzhali Manickavel?

I happened to find an intriguing book 2 days ago "Insects Are Just Like You and Me Except Some of Them Have Wings" by Kuzhali Manickavel (I got mine from landmark), and have been obsessed with finding out as much about the author as I can ever since. I found that some of the stories in the book have already appeared in other places. Here is the list of stories i have found over the internet:

The Dynamics of Windows (one of my favorites)
Throwing Rocks at Dogs
Little Bones
The Dolphin King
Welcome to Barium
Everyone does integral calculus
Conversations during a cyclone and a flood
How to wear an Indian village
Cats and Fish
Because we are precious and brave
The domino effect


Most of these sites also have an interview with the author and they are as fascinating as the short/tiny stories.

Go read her stories and be amazed by their unpredictability, humor and sadness.
