After the hanging and other stories
"Twenty-one stories from India's most original writer of fiction. Each of the stories in this collection is a small masterpiece, shining and enchanting in its perfection. These are extended allegories of terror and loathing (inspired by the Emergency imposed on the country by Indira Gandhi), strange stories of the supernatural, glowing stories of love and the joys of growing up in the country, stories of loss, separation and death, and, most beautiful of all, mystical stories of ordinary men and women breaking out of the crude husk of their earthly existence to become one with the Creator... Beautifully crafted and full of unexpected flights and epiphanies, these stories show a master story-teller at the height of his powers"--Back cover
