"K.V. Dominic\'s monograph on the short stories of Rabindranath Tagore throws new light on various characters--men, women and children--with reference to Tagore\'s psychological realism, which is well-brought out through the mode of pathos. The book is noteworthy for its lucid exposition of the nuances of creative expression unique to Tagore. It is a welcome addition to the rich storehouse of criticism on Tagore." (jacket)
