Crazy Woman and Other Short Stories

250.00

The stories presented in this collection were written originally in Hindi, way back 20-25 years ago, and published in major Hindi journals of those times – Dharmyug, Saptahik Hindustan, Sarika, Kadambini et al. They were liked by the readers and translated into several Indian languages, too, besides being included in some of the selected works of the year. Later they were picked up by some friends for translation into English and, subsequently, found place in some major English literary journals – Indian Literature, The Statesman, National Herald, The Heritage and the like. Free from all tall talk, most of these short stories tell the tales of joys and merriments, torments and trepidations and the dreams and realities of common people.
