The collection explores various themes, including the disintegration of traditional religious institutions, the complexities of human relationships, and the evolution of Kannada literature through different phases.
The collection is edited by Mini Krishnan and translated by Susheela Punitha. Both have played crucial roles in curating and translating the stories from Kannada to English.
The three phases are Navodaya (Renaissance), Pragatishila (Progressive), and Navya (Modernism). Each phase is characterized by different literary styles and themes.
