Neela Scarf can easily be called an interesting mix of stories - some very urban, and some with a very strong rural flavour. Her characters are diverse - from a retired air force officer in "Mukti" to a teacher in "Kuch Yun hona Uska"; from a Dalit woman whose job is to serve high and might in "Bisesar Bo ki Premika" to an aimless housewife in "Marj Zindagi Ilaaj Zindagi", they take the listeners to worlds and spaces that are completely different from one another.

The charm of travelling by a train as it speeds its way out of a tunnel or a jungle and passes through nondescript villages and towns is unmatched.

Thirty years ago, David Leavitt first appeared on the literary scene with a gutsy story collection that stunned readers and reviewers. Just 23, he was hailed as a prodigy of sorts: “remarkably gifted” (The Washington Post), with “a genius for empathy” (The New York Times Book Review), and “a knowledge of others' lives...that a writer twice his age might envy” (USA Today). “Regardless of age,” wrote the New York Times, “few writers so effortlessly achieve the sense of maturity and earned compassion so evident in these pages.”

"Al mattino la superficie del fiume splende come se migliaia di fogli d'oro stropicciati scorressero sull'acqua." Sei bozzoli di preziosa seta esistenziale. Sei fili tesi dal destino. Sei racconti intorno al tempo, alla guarigione, al fato. Sei racconti tessuti in una Tokyo sfolgorante di luci notturne e pulsante di vita. Tutti feriti, chi da un trauma infantile, chi da un abbandono, chi da una storia d'amore tormentata, i protagonisti si sono chiusi in un guscio che li protegge ma insieme li separa dal mondo.

The volume gathers together fifty-five stories, from "Armistice" (1940) to "Alma Redeemed" (1984), and including the immortal stories from The Magic Barrel and the vivid depictions of the unforgettable Fidelman.
