Tales from Firozsha Baag

Tales from Firozsha Baag

"Tales From Firozsha Baag" is a collection of 11 short stories by Rohinton Mistry about the residents of Firozsha Baag, a Parsi-dominated apartment complex in Mumbai (formerly Bombay). Mistry's first book, it was published by McClelland and Stewart in 1987. Although all the stories deal with the same location, many were written without the aim of being collected in the same volume.
