Issue 33. February 2013 : VIJEE VENKATRAMAN Improbable Cargo

from The Drum: A Literary Magazine For Your Ears · host The Drum Literary Magazine

"Improbable Cargo" follows the "frozen-water trade" connecting India and the northeastern United States--from a personal perspective. Vijee Venkatraman muses on her life at each end of this journey of blocks of ice across oceans, and on how something as transient as ice could create a bond that lasted centuries. A version of this essay appeared in the Harvard Book Store's essay collection Paige Leaves.
