Presenting everyday stories on subjects such as deities, ascetics, cats, and cooking, this book shows that the study of oral narrative and performance is essential to ethical inquiry. It builds on the author's research in the famous Hindu pilgrimage town of Sringeri, Karnataka, in southwestern India.
