About this Event
Funny, compassionate, transporting and revealing, these eleven interlinked short stories detail the day-to-day life of a Parsi community in an apartment building in 1960s-70s Bombay. In a beautiful mosaic of seemingly ordinary lives, we get to know some colourful characters, while Mistry explores tensions of tradition and modernity, home and diaspora. This intriguing collection of stories, first published in 1987, was the Canadian-Indian author’s debut, before he went on to write three prize-winning novels, including A Fine Balance.
