Information About
"This anthology presents seven short stories and seven radio scripts which he [S. Rajaratnam] wrote in the 1940s and 50s. They contain ideas that remain relevant today. They are profound in their insights into the human condition and the world we live in. They are well worth reading and thinking about, one at a time, since each tends to contain subtle ironies and hidden meanings. They provide no easy answers. For the same reason, they invite discussion. They are a reminder of the links to history and fiction, and our constant re-reading of the past"--Introd.
