This #book was the companion on the journey into #Benaras, opening up for me at the very start the macabre subject of death, which is so easily and acceptedly associated with the city. I could not visit the #ManikarnikaGhat, but visualised enough through the book. These are short stories, not all based in Benaras, which deal with death or moments leading up to it, in a strangely inviting way. Originally written in French, translated to English.
