Out of India: Selected Stories Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

'To live in India and be at peace, one must to a very considerable extent become Indian, and adopt Indian attitudes, habits, beliefs!' 'But how is this possible?' Ruth Prawer Jhabvala asks in a brilliant and candid introduction. 'Should one want to try to become something other than what one is?' Both the European and the Indian characters search for answers to these questions in fifteen acclaimed stories from the author's four previous collections.

Out of India Bewertungen

'A writer of genius ! a writer of world class -- a master storyteller' -- Sunday Times 'An allusiveness, a susceptibility to mood, a tenderness to which Chekhov was the exemplar' -- V. S. Pritchett 'Marvellous ! each story perfectly constructed and complete' -- Jane Gardam 'Her tussle with India is one of the richest treats of contemporary literature' -- Guardian 'Brutally honest, these stories cut straight to the heart of the matter' -- The Good Book Guide 20031101 'Seductive ! intelligent and frank ! Jhabvala's troubled fragments provide consolation, not in art, but in the understanding that differences between continents and cultures cannot deny the common core of human yearnings' -- Times Literary Supplement 20031101
