Small Talk and Other Stories

Abstract

This is a collection of stories involving the everyday lives of Indians (from India) trying to cope with the disorientation of being where they are physically: the United States of America. By exploring different characters in difficult and/or unavoidable situations, this collection portrays not only the range of conflicts one might experience being the "other" in society, but also the range of story-telling by experimenting with structure, form, voice and language.
