The Burning Night - A Collection of Stories

These compelling stories offer a graphic picture of urban life of India during last half a century. Most stories are set in the yester years of Delhi where the author settled after he left Mumbai. Written with extraordinary vigour and freshness, the stories of this collection penetrate into the web of life of Indian milieu and comment on the burning issues of enigmatic social relationship, filial apathy, animal cruelty, foppishness of new society, the poor children’s plight in schools, communal frenzy and so on. Weirdly poignant and profound, the stories emerge a veritable literary chronicle of half a century India throbbing with abundance of life and a wide range of characters of enduring interest.
