After Yesterday and other stories: Short Stories

By Appadurai Muttulingam

'These stories by Appadurai Muttulingam are serious, funny and piercingly honest. Through retelling the stories of the ordinary, common man in his daily struggles for survival, the characters in these stories force us to take a second look at ourselves; they force us to consider ourselves in the shoes of folks who face social, economic and political hardships in their lives.

'Appadurai Muttulingam's writing style reminds one of R.K. Narayan. He uses terse, sinewy sentences and doesn't bother the reader with gratuitous language or details. His mission is to narrate a story, and he does it in a take-it-or-leave-it manner of folk tales, in which logic and superfluous information are sacrificed for the sake of a delightful read and a universal message.'
