Book Review: Short, Not So Sweet

Short story as a genre continues to get more favor in literary writing, developing switly and becoming more popular among readers. Also, writers are now taking more liberty and explore a variety of themes here. The same has been done by Jatin Khandelwal in his, “Short, Not So Sweet: A Collection of short Stories”. 

The author widely explores his literary talent by writing on a variety of themes which range from human relationships to the modern issue of errorism and also to the technological boom through digitization. Every story is a unique character in itself and what further beautifies it is the way the author has written.

With well developed, finely paced plots, necessary twist and turns and keeping the element of surprise wherever necessary, the author explores diverse themes in his 14 stories and keeps the reader glued to the book. The cover of the book is also worth appreciating. It seems to be like a warm invitation to the reader to sit with his favourite beverage and plunge into the world the author has built. It can be concluded that the book is a fine read for all which has something or the other to offer to every kind of reader due to the manifold themes he writes on.
