Stories That Stayed: A Collection of Contemporary Short Fiction

By Arnabi Ghosh

Book Overview

A maid walks into the rain and never returns. A temple sweeper receives a phone call he has waited three years for. A dead man watches his family gather, not around him, but around his will. A cat with expensive taste supervises a struggling writer. A coffee house refuses to sell coffee.

Stories That Stayed brings together twenty six short stories of quiet wonder from everyday India: housing societies and staff rooms, traffic signals and terraces, weddings and railway platforms. Some stories will make you laugh. Some will sting. A few may stay with you long after you have turned the last page.

That, after all, is how the book got its name.
