Bharati Mukherjee, a pioneering Indian American writer, is renowned for her novel Jasmine and her breakthrough collection The Middleman and Other Stories, which received the 1988 National Book Critics Circle Award. Her writing is distinguished by its narrative style, shifting points of view, and profound emotional observations on the immigrant experience, as well as her vivid portrayal of racism, nostalgia, and displacement.
The Collected Short Stories of Bharati Mukherjee is the first comprehensive volume to showcase the author's complete short fiction, comprising all 35 stories. Leading Mukherjee scholar Ruth Maxey edits the collection, unearthing seven previously unknown stories: five from Mukherjee's unpublished 1963 Iowa Writers Workshop M.F.A. thesis, The Shattered Mirror, and two from 2008.
Arranged chronologically, this essential collection reintroduces many of Mukherjee's stories to print, spanning from her debut collection Darkness in 1985 to her late stories published from 1997 to 2012, including her iconic "The Management of Grief." Maxey contextualizes Mukherjee's short fiction within the broader political questions it raises about migration, nationhood, class, and history.
The Collected Short Stories of Bharati Mukherjee features a Forward by renowned literary studies scholar Nalini Iyer and an Afterword by critically acclaimed writer Lysley Tenorio, one of Mukherjee's former students. It serves as an indispensable volume for readers familiar with Mukherjee's work and those discovering her groundbreaking fiction for the first time.
