"I am Delhi's hottest and shortest virgin, sir! A small package but not a small mind. Huge desires. Monstrous appetites. Greedy senses. I roam the entire universe. I have the awesome power to create people and invent places. I am rich! Words are my wealth."

Vamana is a dwarf, misshapen and ugly. With the realisation that, despite his magical gift for storytelling, he is always going to be an outcast, Vamana turns his back on conventional society and instead seeks out the pimps, pickpockets and hijras (eunuchs) of Delhi's dark and dangerous underworld. Through his stories, he creates new worlds where he assumes heroic status. But as the boundary between his imagination and reality blurs, Vamana becomes dangerously incapable of distinguishing between the two.

'The Storyteller' is a sumptuous, richly evocative novel about the power of the imagination.
