Silverfish New Writing

by Dipika Mukherjee (Editor)

Dr Dipika Mukherjee writes in her introduction to this volume: An anthology is, first and foremost, a flavour encapsulated. Sometimes, as it happens here, it is the mingling of exiles, expatriates, and residents, writing to the beat of a shared experience. An anthology is not about the editor who brings the stories together according to some explicit or implicit criteria, nor even about the individual authors who contribute the stories and give the book life in every sense of the word.

An anthology is about the stories; about the way they fit into each other like a musical medley, seamlessly, to create something that is greater than the sum of their parts.
