The best of the contemporary short story writerUnni R.’s short stories thrive on the many tales rural folk tell each other to make up the tapestry of everyday life—fantastic stories, local gossip shared in whispers.His protagonists are always colourful; some of them live their lives in provincial circles, but their minds hover in worlds that they gained through the mind.
