Three Poisons | Free Book
Kriben Pillay
Three Poisons is a collection of three short stories “giving
remarkably vivid and imaginative expression, in a contemporary
setting” of the three hindrances to freedom: greed, ill-will and
delusion. The setting is South Africa and, far from being bitter or
nihilistic, the stories are shot through with an affection for
humanity—its cultures and its frailties. It “bears testament to the
subtlety of Pillay’s understanding of philosophy, the slippery cleft
between normality/madness and the complexity of ordinary lives in an
extraordinary society.” Nowhere does Kriben tell us what to think, but
he sets us on a path to make our own enquiry—or just to enjoy three
first-rate, truly original short stories.
