Badli Hui Duniya Gyanprakash Vivek- HARPERCOLLINS

A motley collection of modern stories about the temperaments, jargons and manners of parlance of a society caught in a cross of changes. They echo the restive questions and confusions of our times. While Club, Dashte-e-tanhai and Tehree transport us to the wilderness of psychological and social isolation, Chabi, Gussa and Kursi are a perfect blend of the fantastic and the real. Governess, Salesman, and Car draw on the thought that life is lived not only by temporal riches but by empathy and compassion… More well crafted stories about the void created in absence of a father, a farewell to a dog and the sad life of a bandmaster.

Gyanprakash Vivek has ten collections of short stories to his credit. His novels, Gali Number Terah, Astitva, Dilli Darwaza and Akhet, have been widely acclaimed. He lives in Haryana.
