Katha Prize Stories

More about the book

Here are seventeen award winning stories whose common claim is only to excellence. The accent is on the inherent heterogeneity of contemporary India, an India constantly negotiating contradictions and coming-together, in fiction that both creates and breaks stereotypes. There is no attempt here to yoke together universal themes� or basic conflicts, yet brought serendipitously together is a galaxy of master writers - the pioneers and the path breakers looking back with longing and looking ahead with desire.
