Elephant Hued is a beautiful flight into a metaphysical yet realistic world, following the story of the distressed protagonist who has been inexplicably separated from their lovable companion, Kuttan. Whilst grieving and waiting for his return, they reminisce about the past, about the love and warmth they shared. Juxtaposed between the beauty of traditional Kerala, the urban high rises of Bangalore, and other scenic locations scattered throughout South India, Elephant Hued shifts continually between the bleak present and the nostalgic past. Day-to-day life is a struggle, a struggle outshone by moments of compassion, dissolving into nature, cryptic cathartic dreams and wholesome encounters with mystical animals. A crocodile that teaches you how to swim, a midnight ritual at a temple, an intimate meeting on an ocean of lily pads and a falling meteor. A gripping story with a playful informality woven in with subtle spiritual metaphors—exploring themes of love, separation and soul-searching.

The first major literary and cultural history of color in America, 1880–1930 Chromographia tells the story of how color became modern and how literature, by engaging with modern color, became modernist. From the vivid pictures in children’s books to the bold hues of abstract painting, from psychological theories of perception to the synthetic dyes that brightened commercial goods, color concerned both the material stuff of modernity and its theoretical and artistic formulations. Chromographia spans these diverse practices to reveal the widespread effects on U.S. literature and culture of the chromatic revolution that unfolded at the turn of the twentieth century. In analyzing color experience through the lens of U.S. writers (including Charlotte Perkins Gilman, L. Frank Baum, Stephen Crane, Charles Chesnutt, Gertrude Stein, Nella Larsen, and William Carlos Williams), Chromographia argues that modern aesthetic techniques are inseparable from the theories and technologies that drove modern color. Nicholas Gaskill shows how literature registered the social worlds within which chromatic technologies emerged, and also experimented with the ideas about perception, language, and the sensory environment that accompanied their proliferation. Chromographia is the only study of modern color in U.S. literature. It presents a new reading of perception in literature and a theory of experience that uses color to move beyond the usual divisions of modern thought.
