I began my reading for the month of May with a collection of short stories not aware that May is popular as the Short Story month. I always love short stories, they always help me to keep some reading going on. They helped me more than ever in May which was messy, super busy, broadly a month with more lows than highs and happy days.
Below are the books I read -
Short Stories Collections:
- Selected short stories of Jainendra Kumar, compiled by Pradeep Kumar, translated from Hindi by Ravi Nandan Sinha
- The Keeper of Desolation: Stories by Chandan Pandey, translated from Hindi by Sayari Debnath
I also finished reading half of the collection (first five of total ten) Kuttiedathi and other Stories by MT Vasudevan Nair, translated from Malayalam by V Abdulla. I re-read two stories from one of my favorite collections - Swimmer Among the Stars by Kanishk Tharoor.
Novels
- Roots by Malayatoor Ramakrishnan, translated from Malayalam by V Abdulla
- The Moon and the Bonfires by Cesare Pavese, translated from Italian by Tim Parks
- The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo
Non Fiction
- Hold on to your Dreams - A Letter to Young Friends by Ruskin Bond.
