KavaraStories

KavaraStories is a blog by Priya Kavina. Priya writes character-driven fiction focusing on complex issues around underrepresented perspectives, strained relationships, and human nature. She loves morally grey characters and questions the rights and wrongs of societal norms alongside them. By pushing the bounds of genre, she combines her love for poetics with her speculations about the future; a psychological tone/element typically controls the narrative. Particularly disheartened by the lack of South Asian female protagonists in Science Fiction, Priya devotes her stories to diverse voices, dynamic perspectives, and the high-stake ultimatums these communities often face. May it be writing biographies of house-help in India, or exploring the COVID-19 quarantine from a pediatric cancer patient’s perspective, Priya highlights tough realities in powerful ways.
