“K.V. Dominic’s Selected Short Stories in Contemporary Indo-Anglian Literature is a delightful volume to read and preserve. Stories in this collection are narrated with remarkable skill and artistry. A peculiar suspense prevails in some of them and this holds the reader’s attention unto the last.” (jacket)
