You cannot make a better use of Rs.295 if you are in India. This book contains an omnibus of all his short story volumes, KISS KISS, SWITCH BITCH, and SOMEONE LIKE YOU, and some bonus stories. He is the kind of writer whose writing used to perplex, tease in utter simplicity, and it would strike you in the jugular without your expecting it(i know that sounds like ’’oh so a cliche’’ but trust me, this delivers more than I can EVER promise). Stories like ’’Parson’s pleasure’’, ’’Mrs. Bixby and the Colonel’s Coat’’ are masterpieces. The former makes for the most tragedical piece I have ever read. Pains me every single time I read it. Worth every word.
These entice you just so much because these are stories you wish you had written, and you could just have as very well, because these are situations you think about after lunch on a heavy day. And if you could only have completed them the way Dahl does, well...
Wait till he introduces his uncle Ostwald in an introductory piece!
