His Father's Disease: Stories by Aruni Kashyap

4.0

A collection of beautiful stories from Assam. The first story, being the best one is the collection is based on a folkore story of a girl who refuse to die and relive everytime she is killed. The second one is about a troublesome son of a family.
The title story is about a boy who after getting raped by a man realises his true inner self and attraction towards men. The mother, a witness of all this believes that he had inherited his father's disease.
All the 10 stories depict 10 different lives which are very new to me. The writing style, however, seems very familiar, an Indian way and therefore stays close to my heart.
