Description
Essays by renowned Indian writers, including Amitav Ghosh, Ramachandra Guha and Sunil Khilnani are part of this new anthology titled, “The Book of Indian Essays”.
The book claims to be versatile in the kind of essays it features — the “reflective essay, luminous memoir, the essay disguised as a story, the memorable prefatory article, the newspaper column that transcends its humdrum origins, the gossip piece that oozes literariness, the forgotten flower in the long-dead magazine, the satirical putdown”.
The contributors in the anthology that begins with the work of noted Indian poet Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, are some of India’s finest writers like Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, acclaimed writer Santha Rama Rau, beloved children’s writer Ruskin Bond, among others.
The collection has been edited by poet and literary critic Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, and is published by Black Kite, an imprint of Permanent Black.
