'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 PBI - 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'--PBI - India Today 'His stories are better than [those of] any PBI - Indian writing in English--Times of PBI - 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
