oTo compare Anita Desai's fiction with that of Chekhov or the short stories of Tolstoy is not extravagant; it is entirely warrantedo Irish Times Thrice-shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Anita Desai is among our greatest, most insightful writers. This beautiful collection gathers together all of her short fiction, including Diamond Dust, Games at Twilight and The Artist of Disappearance, for the first time with a new introduction from the author. From the icy suburbs of Canada to the overcrowded B s of Cornwall, via the hill towns and cities of India, Anita Desai observes human behaviour unflinchingly but not unkindly, recognising both our banality and strangeness and capturing it with quiet precision. oAll her stories are full of a confidence in human nature that is a rarity and a pleasure to encountero The Spectator oAnita Desai is one of the most brilliant and subtle writers ever to have described the meeting of eastern and western cultureo Alison Lurie
