    Author Khushwant Singh
    “Book Descriptions: ‘A Khushwant Singh short story is not flamboyant but modest, restrained, well-crafted…Perhaps his greatest gift as a writer is a wonderful particularity of description’—London Magazine

    Khushwant Singh first established his reputation as a writer through the short story. His stories—wry, poignant, erotic and, above all, human—bear testimony to Khushwant Singh’s remarkable range and his ability to create an unforgettable world. Spanning over half a century, this volume contains all the short stories Khushwant Singh has ever written, including the delightfully tongue-in-cheek ‘The Maharani of Chootiapuram’, written in 2008. ‘

    Khushwant’s stories enthrall…[He has]an ability akin to that of Somerset Maugham…the ability to entertain intelligently’—India Today

    ‘His stories are better than [those of] any Indian writing in English—Times of India

    ‘The Collected Short Stories leaves the reader in a delightful, inebriated trance’—Sunday Chronicle

    ‘He is not an ordinary short story writer…[Collected Stories] is delightful reading’—Hindustan Times”
