A feast of fiction..online

Dear readers ,

This is great news. Please check out the latest issue of Tehelka.com online(print will be out in a couple of days , I guess). They are running a Lit special and feature a wonderful assortment of short fiction by some of the leading Indian authors. Contributors include, among others, Manuula Padmanabhan, Rajarshi Chakrabarti, Ruskin Bond , Anjum Hasan , Altaf Tyrewala , Sudeep Chakravarty et al. There is even one by the graphic novelist Sarnath Banerjee.
A very interesting array of stories- each writer was given the brief to write on "excess" and apparently thats all they had to go and exert their creative juices on. A wonderfully varied range of stories- from a confused vampire in New delhi, a kid who plays a mushroom in a school play, a doctor who specialises in cancer and vivid sexual fantasies and a philosophical peace-loving dog in south africa.
Guys- please log in and enjoy !!!!

I am not sure I will be able to get my hand on to a print copy. I hope some of you will be able to . I want too- please send. Ganesha will bless.
