A Beginner's Map to Gujarati Prose

Gujarati prose has a remarkable arc. Start with Narmad, who built the foundations in the 1850s. Move to K. M. Munshi's sweeping historical novels, then to Dhumketu's tender short stories. For the adventurous, Suresh Joshi's modernist essays and stories show how far the language can stretch. Each writer is a doorway into a different Gujarat.
