Book Description

This superb collection contains some of the best Indian short stories written in the last 50 years both in English and in the regional languages. Some of these stories-we have arrived in Amritsar by Bhisham Sahni. Companionship by Raja Rao. The sky and the cat by u r anantha murthy. A devoted son by Anita Desai. Have been widely anthologized and are well known. Others like premendra Mitra's the discovery of telenapota. Gangadhar Gadgil's the dog that run in circles, Mowni's loss of Identity ', O V Vijayan's the Wart and Devanuru Mahadeva's Amasa' are less similar to readers but nevertheless classes of the art of the short story.
