On the Edge is a first-of-its-kind collection of short stories and extracts from novels centred on theme of same-sex desire, translated from the original Hindi. The sixteen beautiful and provocative stories featured here (published between 1927 and 2022) include classic works by Asha Sahay, Premchand, Ugra, Rajkamal Chaudhuri, Geetanjali Shree, Sara Rai and Rajendra Yadav, among others.
"A window to the varied depictions of queerness in different eras.. . . The collection does not read like a translated work, thanks to Vanita’s vast experience with queer text and language, which ensure sensitive handling." —Tribune India
