Writing the City:: Looking Within, Looking Without

By: Khanna, Stuti

Writing the City is a collection of essays that portrays both the commonalities and the diversity of the cities of contemporary South Asia. Through their deeply personal accounts, the contributors explore the relationship of their writings to place and space and thus present the many ways in which city-spaces are created in literature today. Food, travel, architecture, education, memories, political turmoil and a deep sense of nostalgia come together in this collection to provide vivid and vibrant accounts of the authors' creative journeys. The contributors include well-known names such as Amitabha Bagchi, Cyrus Mistry, Tabish Khair, Anita Nair, Anees Salim, Anjum Hasan and others.
