Summary

The 21 stories in this book are the greatest pieces of fiction written by Ruskin Bond. Chosen by the author himself, from a body of work built over 50 years (starting with his award-winning first novel, The Room on the Roof, and ending with Tales of Fosterganj), this collection includes well-known masterpieces like 'The Night Train at Deoli', 'The Woman on Platform No 8', 'Rusty Plays Holi' (from The Room on the Roof), 'Angry River', 'The Blue Umbrella', 'The Eyes Have It', 'Most Beautiful' and 'Panther's Moon' as well as newer stories like 'An Evening at the Savoy with H. H.' (from Maharani) and 'Dinner with Foster' (from Tales of Fosterganj). Taken together, the stories in A Gathering of Friends show why Ruskin Bond has long been regarded as one of the pillars of Indian literature. This is a book that will delight his legions of fans as well as those lucky few who are new to his fiction.

Boring

Boring, misogynistic, predictable. I feel like it was a waste of my time, though it is a beloved author in India. Perhaps it is just I who doesn't enjoy a slice of life as a genre...
