City Improbable: An Anthology of Writings on Delhi

Witness to the rise and fall of several empires, Delhi has often been compared to the phoenix that rises from the ashes of its previous self. This anthology brings together writings on Delhi by residents, refugees, travellers and invaders who have engaged with the city at various movements in its long history. Edited by Khushwant Singh, this is a collection as varied and lively – sometimes serious, sometimes richly humorous – as Delhi itself.
