Anjum Hasan's 'Difficult Pleasures' is a marvelous collection of wry, tender, and borderline surreal short stories that explore the themes of escape and belonging. From a solitary economist's journey to redeem a tragedy to a man's attempt to stop time, each tale in this accomplished and ambitious collection captivates with its surprises. Hasan's fluid prose and poetic storytelling confirm her reputation as one of India's most gifted young writers. 'Difficult Pleasures' is a literary gem that leaves readers longing for more."
'The 13 stories in Difficult Pleasures are a good indicator why Anjum Hasan is widely regarded as a rising star on the literary horizon, as fluid in prose as poetry' - The Hindu
