- Stories of US highlights the problems in our society with its short story collection. These stories are written from a common man’s viewpoint and somewhere you can relate with it too.
- Some of the stories like Notebandi , Connection, A letter to the president, RTI, or even 56 offerings will make you think ,if we faced the same problem ,or are we privileged not to face them. Of course at the end of each stories, the author have thrown few questions to the reader to judge. (Swayam Vichar Kijiye)
- Every story is about 2-3 page long and covers topic like Family relation, parenting, sexual harassment ,social issues, political issues, superstition, third gender and henceforth. So if you are not looking for a heavy read, or you just began your book reading journey, you can start with this one and I am sure you will like it.
- The English is very simple and the stories are fast pace, to the point , loud and clear focusing its topic.
- While there are many stories which are my favorite, there are some which didn’t make much of an impact on me like five desi American, love in times of war , the bright old scooter and few more.
- What I craved more for is all the problems have been shown to the reader about the society, while no solution have been given to come out of it or how the protagonist solved his problems. This is book can create great debate on issues like Sexual Harassment ,Euthanasia, how Internet (social media )hampering our family relationship , scams and few more.
- Being a short story lover I enjoyed this 41 mini story collection exposing the cold society.
