In Other Words: New Writing By Indian Women

This innovative collection brings together fourteen of the most adventuresome contemporary Indian women writers. Rich in subject and style, these remarkable stories are animated by the experiences and concerns of the post-independence generation of Indian women. Written with style and verve, the stories include a sardonic and witty debunking of mysticism, a consideration of the encounter between the colonizers language and the mother-tongue, an animated vignette of growing up urban in the 1980s, and an authors revisiting of the past through the lives of her ancestresses. Compelling and entertaining as literature, the stories also paint a clear and intimate portrait of women's lives in India today.
