The Complete Stories gathers together Anita Desai's short story collections Diamond Dust and Games at Twilight and the novellas of The Artist of Disappearance, with a new preface from the author. From the icy suburbs of Canada to the overcrowded B&Bs of Cornwall, via the hill towns and cities of India, Anita Desai observes human behaviour unflinchingly but not unkindly, recognising our ordinariness and our strangeness, and capturing both with quiet precision.

Review:
"Anita Desai is one of the greats of the modern short story ... The whole collection breathes old-style quality" -- Phil Baker * The Sunday Times * "To compare Anita Desai's fiction with that of Chekhov or the short stories of Tolstoy is not extravagant; it is entirely warranted" * Irish Times * "All her stories are full of a confidence in human nature that is a rarity and a pleasure to encounter" * Spectator * "Anita Desai is one of the most brilliant and subtle writers ever to have described the meeting of eastern and western culture" -- Alison Lurie
