About the Book
For a whole decade, Katha’s search for excellence has brought to readers some the best stories being written in our myriad languages. This year to celebrate the crope of the 90s, Katha invited five giants of Indian cinema to choose the best for us. And here they are-just for your reading pleasure. Right off the top draw-from one hundred and fifty award-winning stories from fifteen languages-stories that were chosen by discerning editors of respected magazines and journals in the first place, then through a rigorous, electic process, once again by our nominating editors. Come home to good fiction... Come home to Katha!
