It took a few stories for this to catch me, but I ultimately ended up enjoying this collection a lot. I really liked Manickavel's writing style and I liked the general absurdist approach to the storytelling, but there were a number of stories that just didn't reach me in any way. Those that did, though, were excellent and the worst of them really weren't that bad and since they were all so short, it didn't take long to move on to something that I did like.
