Media Reviews
'Chaudhuri's stories have a wonderful quiteness, depth and accuracy. There is no better writer of the human particulars and subtleties of modern Indian life.' -- Ian Jack
'The newest stories are pure marvels. I am in awe of them. Chaudhuri brings into the written realm what others have chosen to leave outside... These stories shine. They are more than an achievement.' -- Colum McCann
'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.' -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times *
'Brilliant... Here, as with Chekhov or Hemingway, the reader not only accepts but relishes the ecomony.' * Guardian *
