Indian author Vilas Sarang has passed away; see, for example, Ramu Ramanathan on The Incomparable Silence of Vilas Sarang in the Mumbai Mirror and Anu Kumar's Vilas Sarang: the writer you should have read to understand post-modern Indian literature at Scroll.in.
I'm fairly certain his collection of stories, Fair Tree of the Void, is the first translated-from-the-Marathi volume I managed to get my hands on (purchased, in 2003, for US$2.98 at the Strand in New York) -- though I think what struck me most back then was that it was: "translated from the Marathi by the author and Breon Mitchell", Mitchell even then, before his re-translation of The Tin Drum, known to me only as a translator from the German .....

The larger collection, The Women in Cages, building on Fair Tree of the Void, is probably the place to dive in; get your copy at Amazon.com orAmazon.co.uk.
