A review by libbysbookshelf
Cosmopolitan by Akhil Sharma
COSMOPOLITAN by AKHIL SHARMA
This is another Faber Stories short story and it was just as good as the others I’ve read, if not better.
The story is about a retired Indian man living in America. His wife and child have left and he is alone for the first time in his life. One day, he realises that he is attracted to his neighbour, so he reads Cosmopolitan magazine to try to win her over.
This little story is about loneliness and the vulnerability that comes with it. I found it very honest and sweet and I’ve had a lovely half an hour with these characters.
