Description

This is a representative collection of modern Indian short stories written originally in different Indian languages. All in all, a selection that the discerning reader ought to read if he wants to know what has been happening in modern literary India.

They capture the broad spectrum not only of creativity in almost all Indian languages but also of individual and collective experience the Indian society has undergone, involving, sometimes, dramatic, almost cataclysmic, changes in values, sensibilities and relationships. It is these thematic shifts that have guided the selection of the stories, written by well-known figures in the Indian literary scene.

The selection thus succeeds in communicating both the overriding preoccupations and the original flavor of regional creativity in Indian languages.
