![]() Organised into five sections, each with five to seven stories, the anthology has thirty stories in all. As a form emerging from the subcontinent, Chandrasekhar writes in her introduction: “(The anthology) portrays the idea of this united space – a virtual sub-continental geography – as a network of writing that crosses political boundaries, gender divisions and examines prejudices and anxieties, both individual and collective.” ![]() In creating this anthology, Out of Print – Ten years: An anthology of stories, the editor Indira Chandrasekhar has brought together some of the finest examples of short fiction, a coming together of a diverse variety of geography, style, range, content, skill and translation that makes this a fascinating collection for the reader. Set up in September 2010, when there were very few literary platforms devoted to the short story in the subcontinent, the magazine was born of the understanding that this form has a unique place in Indian and sub-continental literature. Out of Print magazine has produced an anthology of short fiction to commemorate ten years of its online existence, a curated selection compiled from work published in the magazine.
