TWO SHORT STORIES TO READ IF YOUR TBR IS INTIMIDATING YOU.
1. ABSCOND BY ABRAHAM VERGHESE
This short story by Abraham Verghese is gripping, intense and sublime. Ravi’s dream of becoming a tennis star in New Jersey seems achievable with his father’s support, even though his mother wants him to tread in his father’s footsteps of becoming a neurosurgeon, like every Indian mother.
2. THE ANSWER IS NO BY FREDRIK BACKMAN (TRANSLATED FROM THE SWEDISH BY ELIZABETH DENOMA)
