About

Orange Eyes and Other Tales

Orange Eyes and Other Tales encapsulates the power of feelings, of colours and individuality. Each character battles societal perceptions, the inability to fit in and their profound reactions to the world around them. Multiculturality, feelings of displacement and cultural ambiguity are at home within these stories with the intention of dismantling labels in order to allow anyone to be whatever they choose to.

The main story of the collection, Orange Eyes, is that of a woman whose response to trauma led to isolation and eventually the belief that she is becoming an orange. Her obsessive fantasies lead to flashbacks of a memory that she is desperately trying to forget.

From there on, this collection guides you through various stories that explore subjects such as memory, home, culture, identity, individualism, departure and the body.
