  Anton Chekhov, Guy de Maupassant, Kate Chopin. These three names thrill the literary world as well as our own.  They have gravitas, they have knowledge, experience and they have the literary style and panache to seduce our imagined world. 
   
  Each has written a short story on pleasured lips placed on another’s flesh. 
   
  For Chekhov it was a kiss in a darkened room that happened by mistake.  Who was she? 
   
  For Chopin it was a kiss that almost derailed a hoped-for marriage proposal.  Why did he do that?  
   
  For de Maupassant it was a niece seeking advice from her Aunt on when to kiss and whom.  And did she? 
   
  Add to this our own experiences of ‘the kiss’.  A kiss to welcome a friend, the loving kiss for our child, our parents, the passionate kiss to a lover.   
   
  These experiences are individual to each of us but perhaps shape a thought or recall a memory when our three authors relate their own stories into our senses.

  Calcutta is the central character in each of the three stories in this book. As all Bengalis will tell you, even when the city stands quietly in the corner, not saying a word, her presence may be deeply felt by those close to her. The House and Other Stories is also about the many persons we encounter in the everyday. These are the people we pass by without a second thought. Who are these people? What stories lie locked up in each of them? Will they ever be told? Like magic, one question leads to another and soon, they no longer appear anonymous; they come alive. It is as if an entirely new world has been conjured before our eyes. And we are enchanted by the stories that have lain hidden from us for so long. Even if the stories emerge at times from the realm of the dead.
