Desi Tales: Indian and Pakistani Tales

Product Information

And for another, it’s a genre that’s in the midst of a fantastic boom. You probably already know, for instance, about Mindy Kaling’s autobiographical Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)! But the depth and breadth of Desi stories stretch far beyond that. There’s Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake, a generational classic. There’s everything by Salman Rushdie. There’s Adiba Jaigirdar bursting onto the YA and LGBTQ+ scene with The Henna Wars, and Samit Basu’s mind-boggling GameWorld Trilogy over in the realm of fantasy. In short, Desi fiction’s got every kind of story — and also the perspectives that makes it a lot more. Looking for some of the best Desi stories?
