Daniell Comes to Judgment: New and Vintage Daruwalla is a collection of short stories by Keki N. Daruwalla, the acclaimed poet-cum-novelist of our time. There are new stories here written especially for this book in a span of less than two months and perennial favourites (of vintage worth) still relevant in today’s changed times. The collection showcases the author’s enduring range.The new stories are first person narratives and, with the exception of one, voices of women—city women—putting into words their moods and memories. The author has deliberately shunned the violence-factor in this collection. In fact ‘Bars’, a story included in this volume, is a commentary on the forces of intolerance straining the social fabric. Coming to the perennial favourites, they are Vintage Keki Daruwalla; vignettes from the vast repository of a wordsmith who can straddle myth and reality with ease and finesse, breathe life into metaphors, coalesce fact and fancy and still sound fascinatingly credible, with his patent black humour well in place. The collection includes stories where fantasy and myth transport one to the pre-language, pre-script era; to amphibious trains and an island of birds. In short, the master storyteller weaves his magic yet again.
Keki N. Daruwalla, poet and writer, lives in Delhi and has written over ten poetry volumes, a novella, two novels and half a dozen short story collections. His latest collection of poetry is The Map Maker (2002). His poetry volume The Keeper of the Dead won the Sahitya Akademi Award (1984) while Landscapes won the Commonwealth Poetry Award (Asia) in 1987. His first novel, Pepper and Christ, was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Fiction Prize (Asia and UK) in 2010. Apart from being an acclaimed poet, Daruwalla is also a serious short story writer who has been writing short stories for the last forty years. His short story collections inter alia include Sword and Abyss, A House in Ranikhet and Islands. His works have been translated into various European languages—Spanish, Swedish, Magyar, German and Russian. Born in 1937, Daruwalla did his Masters in English Literature from Punjab University and also spent a year in Oxford as a Queen Elizabeth House Fellow. A career bureaucrat with the central government, he has been a Member of the National Commission for Minorities. He retired from government service as Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee.
