Reviewed by CopertocakEinige interessante Kurzgeschichten. Die handelnden Personen sind fast immer Inder bzw. indischstämmige Amerikaner. Daher spielt das Thema Integration und die Prägung durch die Herkunftskultur eine große Rolle. Die Geschichten sind zumindest erfrischend anders. Allerdings sind sie trotzdem allzu oft blass und langatmig.
