A Case of Indian Marvels is the first major anthology of short stories by India’s most exciting new writers. The book pulls togetherthe very best work of authors belonging to the millennial generation (born between 1981 and 1996) and Generation Z (bornbetween the late 1990s and early 2010s). The forty stories in the volume explore every aspect of the Indian ethos in original andelectrifying ways. Some stories deal with the dark times India is passing through, others are about life in the country’s villages,small towns, and big cities; there are tales about various aspects of contemporary Indian society and others set in the future or theancient past. Some of the writers, including Kanishk Tharoor, Madhuri Vijay, Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar, Meena Kandasamy,Prayaag Akbar, Samhita Arni, Neel Patel, and Avinuo Kire, have already received considerable acclaim for books they havepublished, others are working on debut collections of stories and novels that are expected to be published soon. These writers willdominate the literary scene in the twenty-first century, and on the evidence of the work represented in this volume, the future ofIndian literature is in very good hands.
