Greatest Short Stories
By Mulk Raj Anand
| New Enlarged Edition The present selection is an attempt to represent the wide range and variety of Mulk Raj Anandâ??s short stories. The first group represents the stories of â??lyric awarenessâ??. As in all poetry, the themes are elemental, such as birth and death, beauty, love and childhood, and the treatment often reveals a symbolic dimension added to realistic presentation. The prevailing mood of the second group of stories in this selection is of the â??tears at the heart of thingsâ??. These stories are naturally allied to the brief tales of â??lyric awarenessâ?? but with a difference. Through his acute understanding of the complex social forces at work, Anand describes an India where tradition clashes with modernity. The range and variety of Anandâ??s short stories are not only in mood, tone and spirit but also in locale, characters and form. The setting ranges from the Punjab (as in The Parrot in the Cage) to Uttar Pradesh (as in The Price of Bananas) and Kashmir (as in Kashmir Idyll). Both the village and the city get almost equal representation. Mulk Raj Anandâ??s stories are a museum of human nature. Among the Indian writers of the short story in English, he has few peers. | |
