Sundar on a beach, ocean and headland behind him

Sundar Visweswaran

Short fiction and photographs.

I’m Sundar Visweswaran. I write short fiction about small, quiet moments that turn out to be the large ones — fathers and children, marriages, grief, and the places we keep carrying with us. My stories have appeared in Five Minutes, Weeds & Wildflowers, Microcosm, and ILLUMINATION.

I grew up in South India and live in the San Francisco Bay Area. By day I’m a software engineer; the rest of the time I’m writing, or behind a camera.
