1 Appetite Amruta Patil , Amruta Patil (illustrator), 2015 single work single work short story graphic novel young adult
— Appears in: Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean 2015;

Coral Polyp is hungry for love and for life but such an appetite in a girl is unacceptable. A girl’s job is to learn to love and want nothing in return, her mother tells her. This story investigates notions of women’s supposedly natural timid desires, and the societal demand upon women to display smallness in all its meanings.
