URBAN SHOTS CROSSROADS

In her cabin, Malini fumed.
Gradually, her anger turned inward. She had ventured too far beyond the
person she knew herself to be. It was dawn and the end of the shift by the
time she saw the letter of resignation on her table. Urban Shots: Crossroads
presents sharply etched portraits of daily life in contemporary Indian
cities. These stories range from the lyrical to the devastating and never
once flinch at the ugliness which pervades urban India’s social tapestry. The
heart-warming ‘Song of the Summer Bird’ is an ode to childhood ‘Gautam
Gargoyle’ is a searing look at a man’s quest to fit in at work and
‘Crossroads’ succinctly captures a man’s divided affection between his wife
and a seductress. Bold, layered and startlingly real, these stories could
well be about our own lives. Edited by bestselling author Ahmed Faiyaz, this
anthology includes stories by both established writers and by new talent.
Never before has the urban world been explored in such minutiae as in Urban
Shots: Crossroads.
