With an uncanny eye for the nuances of individual situations and strong evocative styles, the three writers in this volume give us an insight into the interior landscapes of characters drawn largely from the Hindi-speaking middle and poorer class. Readers meet restless and frustrated characters fighting against the demands and hypocrisies of both the conservative and so-called ‘liberal’ aspects of society.
