Blurb:
15 Unputdownable stories that are page turners.
Spoiler alert- The last line of 'The Tragedy of the Commons' is bound to give you goose bumps…but only
if you read it from the very beginning. So, don't turn back the pages yet! And 'The Principle of Sufficient Reason' will keep you thinking long after you’re done reading it. 'Dying' ghosts, a musical wait for death, a lion forming out of the words on a page, the tears of an old mother, talking keys, and more. This anthology has stories that don't just touch your heart. They linger on your mind. Kalam Babu's felicity with words makes There is No One New Around You an enjoyable read. This book is not for those who are choosy about genres, for it touches upon many different ones. And even if you are, this is a good starting point to introduce yourself to new ones. Kalam Babu is admirably versatile with genres and themes. He plays with narrative techniques to add depth to his stories. You'll find these stories quite endearing because of their simplicity, the deep meaning and values they convey. Don't just read them, feel them. The plots are unpredictable and characters unforgettable.
Happy reading!
Review:
Stories I liked the most: -
# The Arrival
# Coda Overture
# Decision Tree
# Keys
# There is No One New Around You
Though all the stories in the books are very good but these are some which I liked the most. So, this book is a roller coaster ride which takes you to different phases of life. All the stories have something different in it and teach you a lot. It did not happen one night was the first collection of the stories from the author and this one, is an improvised version. Kudos to the author for not sticking to a single genre. Whenever someone sticks to a single genre, it becomes easy for the author to match the stories with the given title and cover but when it comes to different genres, it is a challenging task.
Title of the book and the cover goes hand in hand with almost every story. Narration and language are simple to comprehend.
Congratulations to the author for coming out with this book. Looking forward to reading more from the author.
