About the Book This collection of post-independence Telugu short stories reflects all the major trends and thematic concerns of the Telugu short stories of the post-independence period.

The lives of Telugu people, urban and rural upper middle class, middle class and the downtrodden, professionals and beggars-are represented in a rich mosaic of differences.
