After his acclaimed debut Bonds, S. N. Kashyap returns with Knots, a literary short story collection that explores resilience, identity, and the quiet moments that transform lives. Set across Prague's cobblestone streets, the fields of rural Pennsylvania, and the vibrant cities of India, these interconnected stories trace the invisible threads that tie us to one another - and to ourselves.

  • Czech, Please is a compelling tale of new experiences and reluctant self-discovery set against the backdrop of Prague's enchanting charm.
  • In Calvin and Hopes, while two friends compete with unexpected consequences, the third stays on the sidelines--untouched by time.
  • A flamboyant pathologist and an enigmatic research assistant unravel the mystery of a missing person in rural Pennsylvania, uncovering hidden identities and dangerous desires in Eyes of Truth.
  • In Know Strings Attached, two women reconnect, confront personal crises, and find strength in their renewed bond.
  • To Be or Knot follows the journey of a single mother as she finds success, independence, and love--entirely on her own terms.

In this emotionally rich, character-driven work of fiction, S. N. Kashyap captures the profound impact of small choices and unexpected encounters. Readers who enjoy multicultural fiction, contemporary fiction about belonging, and thoughtful stories of self-discovery will find much to savor here.

Perfect for book clubs and lovers of literary fiction, Knots offers a journey across continents and cultures, revealing how even the most ordinary moments can spark extraordinary change.

Discover the paths we walk, the crossroads we face, and the knots that quietly shape our lives!
