Tales from Firozsha Baag
Tales from Firozsha Baag | Rohinton Mistry
1 post | 10 read
In these eleven stories, Rohinton Mistry opens our eyes and our hearts to the rich, complex patterns of life inside Firozsha Baag, an apartment building in Bombay. Here are Jaakaylee, the ghost-seer, and Najamai, the only owner of a refrigerator in Firozsha Baag; Rustomji the Curmudgeon and Kersi, the young boy whose life threads through the book and who narrates the final story as an adult in Toronto. We see their passions, their worst fears, their betrayals, and their humorous acts of revenge. Witty and poignant, in turns, these intersecting stories create a finely textured mosaic of lives and illuminate a world poised between the old ways and the new.

Tales from Firozsha Baag | Rohinton Mistry

Pickpick

Rohinton Mistry‘s first book, a interwoven set of short stories that explore the everyday lives of people in one apartment complex called Firozsha Baag has Mistry‘s signature style of delving into the mundane lives of normal people and making something beautiful and poignant out of it. A tremendously talented writer, manages to evoke intricacies of human characteristics and relationships beautifully. I love his novels more but this was great too.
