The Complete Stories by Anita Desai

4.0

Great collection of short stories, I especially liked the first half, but all of them were fantastic. The prose here was stunning, some of the most stunning prose I've ever read. The stories stretch from Bombay to Canada; from a child's aching discovery that he could be forgotten to the value of art to an artist in desperate conditions to earn, a broad range of themes tackled and executed well.

However, I read the short stories only. The three novellas that are collected here are collected elsewhere together too, and I hope to read them sometime this year.
