Saligrama K. Aithal Announces Release of Many in One
Falls Church, VA (PRWEB) October 03, 2013 -- A series of short stories tackle contemporary social and cultural issues in Saligrama K. Aithal’s new book, Many in One: A Collection of Short Stories (published by AuthorHouse).
While giving the final touches to the preparations for his own prospective death and cremation, Madhav, the common protagonist of the stories, receives a call from his daughter in the United States telling him that she has obtained all the necessary documents for his emigration from India to the U.S. and that he must come join his family as soon as possible. His preparations for death are interrupted, and, on his relocation, his preoccupation with dying gives way to the pursuit of happiness, not only for himself but for the world.
The short stories in the collection describe the numerous roles Madhav assumes, which include teacher, critic, volunteer, prophet of god, host to an alien from outer space and writer. Throughout the book, Madhav talks about religion, literature, music and business. Assuming one role after another, Madhav waltzes the reader through the chaos of the world, building bridges across cultures and between nations. Simultaneously serious, lighthearted and witty, the stories should appeal to a wide spectrum of audience-- from the general reader to students and teachers of literature.
