‘One of the most versatile and talented writers of his generation’—Village Voice ‘The stories in this volume combine the folk-art charm and easygoing improvisations of R.K. Narayan, with the compassion and evocative atmosphere of Chekhov’—New York Times‘Never has middle India appeared so enchanting . . . Such is Chaudhuri’s charm that one is utterly seduced by his tone of certitude in the rightness of what he remembers’—India TodayAmit Chaudhuri’s stories range from a divorcée about to enter into an arranged marriage to a teenaged poet who develops a relationship with a lonely widower, from a singing teacher struggling to make a living out of the boredom of his students to a gauche teenager desperate to hurdle past his adolescence. Ripe with subtlety, elegance and deep feeling, this is vintage Chaudhuri.‘Chaudhuri’s writing is touched by a rare delicacy of description and a keen sense of the unwritten, unspoken rules that govern human relationships . . . a genuine talent’—Shashi Tharoor, LA Times Book Review‘Chaudhuri displays extraordinary skill as a short story writer – a very difficult form indeed . . . fluid, limpid . . . subtle’—Nalini Jain, Book Review‘Written with the practised ease of a craftsman . . . he is a writerly writer, as possibly Naipaul is, concentrating on his craft with complete dedication and concentration’—Debraj Mookerjee, PioneerAbout The Author:Amit Chaudhuri is the author of five novels, the latest of which is The Immortals.
