Description
A Collection of Short Stories by well-known writers and arresting new voices.
Tale by tale, tour their India; the back alleys and five-star lounges, bus stops and bedrooms, the suicidal and, more urgently, the nonsensical. Let their cast of characters tell you in their own words what it is they don’t talk about.
