Delhi Noir's 15 original stories are written by the best Indian writers alive today - the ones readers might not have yet heard of but should have. Features both veteran authors who have appeared on the Booker Prize shortlist and new talent. Delhi Noir is a world of sex in parks, male prostitution and vigilante rickshaw drivers. It is one plagued by religious riots, soulless corporate dons and murderous servants. This is India uncut.
Hirsh Sawhney has written for the Times Literary Supplement, the Guardian, Time Out New York, Outlook, and the Indian Express. He has taught English to asylum seekers in London and was the director of an adult education program that served undocumented immigrants in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn.
