A collection of finely crafted stories that challenge our political, social and cultural beliefs.One of the leading exponents of the Modernist school in Kannada and Jnanpith Award winner, U. R. Anantha Murthy has been a writer for nearly five decades. This excellent anthology brings together stories from his five collections. Spanning thirty-five years from 1955-89, they represent his journey from 'an angry young radical to an intensely humanist conservative'.The seven masterful stories in this collection, many of which have been translated into English for the first time, affirm Anantha Murthy as one of India's foremost fiction writers.
