New edition 2000 Toronto : New Canadian, 2000. 269 pages : 18cm Firozsha Baag is an apartment building in Bombay. Its ceilings need plastering and some of the toilets leak appallingly, but its residents are far from desperate, though sometimes contentious and unforgiving. In these witty, poignant stories, Mistry charts the intersecting lives of Firozsha Baag, yielding a delightful collective portrait of a middle-class Indian community poised between the old ways and the new. "A fine collection...the volume is informed by a tone of gentle compassion for seemingly insignificant lives."--Michiko Kakutani, New York Times Short stories Bombay To-read ddc BK 0 4696 4696 0 0 ddc 0 0 001 001 SBS 2024-09-23 0 MIS 813.54 PR9199.M494 2024-2057 2024-09-23 09:43:25 1 2024-09-23 BK
