About the book
This critical anthology interrogates the themes, techniques and characterization in the short stories of P. Raja who embedded in his deft constructions of the common place items and in his creative idiom, an ordinary situation becomes the exceptional and the strange. What comes sharply under the scanner is Raja’s handling of themes, techniques and characters in a typical vein of satire, wit and humour and his deep involvement in the issues and concerns of his stories without sounding ambiguous or irrelevant. Satire and sympathy make his stories memorable. There are writers who go straight to the hearts of the readers. P. Raja is undoubtedly one of them.
