Out of Print : Ten Years - Reviews of the anthology


Reviews



...brings together select pieces from the publication’s first decade. They reinforce ideas that speak to the spirit of the magazine...

...the book widens the scope of thought, imagination and realism...

...a flash of extraordinary brilliance [that shines] on a ... moment, episode, character, or transition, says Chandrasekhar about the short story...

This is a volume that commemorates ten years ... and does a great job of bringing together all that is remarkable and joyous about an exclusive space for short fiction.

In Out of Print, Ten Years: An Anthology of Stories ... the staggering power of the form reveals itself to the reader — a line, a segment and a structural pulse at a time.

...each gem in the collection has been carefully hand-picked...

...the editor Indira Chandrasekhar has brought together some of the finest examples of short fiction, a coming together of a diverse variety of geography, style, range, content, skill and translation that makes this a fascinating collection...
