The Salt Doll

Mira Cheriyan is both actor and witness in The Salt Doll. When she is part of the action she is the salt doll which dissolves in the sea and loses identity. This according to Mira is the feminine way of experiencing. When she witnesses and reports she is like quicksilver; she touches everything while remaining untouched. Alternating between these two modes Mira the protagonist and storyteller tells a dazzling savage sophisticated tale.
