Little is known of contemporary Indian literature outside of those novelists writing in English. Shashi Tharoor, the acclaimed author of The Great Indian Novel, Show Business, and India: From Midnight to the Millennium -- a rising star in the international fiction universe (Booklist) -- brings together in this volume the best new literary voices in India today. The Wheel of Fire and Other Stories offers a kaleidoscope of rich and multifaceted Indian life. Tharoor gives us the opportunity to discover a cultural landscape unknown to most in the West. The insightful introduction by one of India's most prominent writers and his selection of more than a dozen short stories constitute an important and vital contribution to world literature.
