ANTHOLOGIES

Katha Prize Stories—Vol 2

  1. “Manju Kak’s “Blessed are my son’s” (nominated by Nissim Ezekiel) is filled with a humour and vitality rare in women writers. Her capacity for fantasy catapults into sympathetic understanding of the lustful impotence of a butcher, and, tangentially, into the painful circumstances of the man-woman relationship.”
          Anna Sujatha Mathai, Prize Catch, Times of India

Days of Innocence - Stories for Ruskin Bond, Roli Books

  1. “Manju Kak’s  “Birju” (sic)…. is the story of a quixotic hero of her childhood. It reminds me of George and Weedon Grossmith’s The Diary of a Nobody which is like a religious testament to Ruskin Bond even today. “
          Debashis Banerjee-- The Statesman
