The katha anthologies I was referring to appear to be different from
the ones that Nasy garu are referring to.
Vasireddy Naveen and Papineni Sivasankar have been publishing an
anthology of Telugu short stories (in Telugu, not translations) every year
since 1991. They select the best stories that appeared during the year.
I would like to hear more about the katha anthologies referred to by
Nasy.
