A compilation comprising the most incisive, original and evocative voices to come out of Karnataka in the last two decades. The anthology includes established litterateurs like UR Ananthamurthy, Girish Karnad and Chandrashekhar Kambar, as well as newer writers such as Sunanda Kadame. These writers have tackled a wide range of issues— globalisation, caste, displacement, reality shows—that reflect the dramatic social and economic changes that have taken place over the last 20 years.
