Shooting From the Hip

Out of her colossal collection, a suitable range of Shobha De's works has been carefully selected and arranged in this volume. This book covers the versatility of De's writing, be it on politics, media, food, festivals, films, books, people, travelogues; or articles pertaining to her city of joy and pain (Bombay); and much more. As a special bonus, this volume offers the first short story written by De. "A melange of themes, personalities, random thoughts, all forcefully even colourfully expressed - there is much that is amusing, outrageous, thought-provoking, even shocking." --The Hindustan Times
