Short Stories by Dipika Mukherjee
My short story collection is Rules of Desire. I have stories in The Best Small Fictions 2019 and World Literature Today, Asia Literary Review, Del Sol Review, The Commons, and Chicago Quarterly Review, among others.
In Rules of Desire, yearning becomes both dangerous and erotic, leading the readers into worlds where the unthinkable becomes possible. Dipika Mukherjee’s stories careen from urban Kuala Lumpur to cosmopolitan Shanghai, then small towns of India and the remote wilderness of America.
