Abstract

"On the edge is a first-of-its-kind collection of short stories and extracts from novels centred on the them of same-sex desire, translated from the original Hindi. The sixteen beautiful and provocative stories featured here (published between 1927 and 2022) include classic works by Asha Sahay, Premchand, Ugra, Rajkamal Chaudhari, Geetanjali Shree, Sara Rai and Rajendra Yadav, among others. An important anthology, On the edge shifts the focus to stories and characters who have for far too long, remained in the shadows and brings them (and us) into the light"--Front jacket flap
