"Because there are no claims to defining Indianness, the book can be read in several individual parts. There is no chronology or alphabetical-based or language-based structuring to it, which in a way liberates the book instead of confining it. Future Library might prompt future editors to think of new ways to transcend linguistic boundaries and share Indian literature for its variety." —Soni Wadhwa, Asian Review of Books
