Stories Varied – A Book of Short Stories

 Book Profile / by BS Murthy / 60 views / Sold

This is a collection of the author’s short stories that deals with women’s dilemmas in the Indian social milieu accompanied with unique denouements.
While ‘Ilaa’s Ire’ contrasts woman’s lot of the day with her eminence in the Vedic Age, ‘201’ Qualms” depicts her predicament, torn between personal loyalty and citizen’s responsibility.
As “?” addresses woman’s marital stress in an alien land, ‘Cupid’s Clue’ is about her acting on rebound in her native place.
Even as ‘Autumn Love’ lets woman discover the marital void in her life, ‘A Touchy Affair’ makes her amenable to her man’s other woman.
Just as ‘Love’s How’s That’ inflames woman’s old flame, ‘A Hearty Turn’ brings her innate lesbian leanings to the fore.
If ‘Love Jihad’ bridges lovers’ religious divide with a secular plank, ‘Tenth Nook’ creates her marital gulf on the materialistic ground.
While ‘Eleventh Hour’ is about woman’s lust for love, ‘Twelfth Tale’ underscores her zest for power.

By BS Murthy

BS Murthy is an Indian novelist, playwright, short story, non-fiction 'n articles writer, translator, a 'little' thinker and a budding philosopher in ‘Addendum to Evolution: Origins of the World by Eastern Speculative Philosophy’ that was originally published in The Examined Life On-Line Philosophy Journal, Vol. 05 Issue 18, Summer 2004. Born on 27 Aug 1948 and schooled in letter-writing, he articulated his managerial ideas in thirty-odd published articles, and later he penned Benign Flame: Saga of Love, Jewel-less Crown: Saga of Life, Crossing the Mirage: Passing through youth (plot and character driven novels), Glaring Shadow: A stream of consciousness novel, Prey on the Prowl: A Crime Novel, Stories Varied: A Book of Short Stories and Onto the Stage: Slighted Souls and other stage and radio plays. His other books are Puppets of Faith: Theory of Communal Strife (novel non-fiction) and translations in verses Bhagvad-Gita: Treatise of Self-help and Sundara Kanda: Hanuman’s Odyssey. Then entering the arena of non-fiction with a ‘novel’ narrative in , possibly a new genre, he ventured into the zone of translations for versifying the Sanskrit epics, Vyasa’s Bhagvad-Gita (Treatise of self-help) and Valmiki’s in contemporary English idiom. Later, ascending Onto the Stage with Slight Souls and other stage and radio plays, he returned to fictional form with and to finally reach the short story horizon with Stories Varied - A Book of Short Stories. While all his fiction had emanated from his conviction that for it to impact readers, it should be the soulful rendering of characters rooted in their native soil but not the hotchpotch of local and alien caricatures sketched on a hybrid canvas, all his body of work was borne out of his passion for writing, matched only by his love for language. His body of work as above is in the public domain as free ebooks https://g.co/kgs/JRC2Hf
