POISON IN THE TALE
By Noel
Keymer
Poison
in the Tale is a set of short stories that
leaves one spellbound. With a smooth flow, each story eventually moves to a
sharp turn, startling the reader with the unexpected.
Like the little protagonist in The
Boy Who Hated Trains, who whips up a perfect escape plan, little realising
that no plan in life can ever be fool-proof.
Or, for that matter, a top bomb
disposal expert in The Challenge, who has an unwritten war of egos with
his antagonist, the bomber, with each trying to outdo the other.
And, then, there’s the story of
Subedar Subodh Singh, an eager young Jawan, descending from a long line of army
men, who has waited all his life to come face to face with The Enemy and
to kill him… and what transpires when he actually does.
And, of course, Child’s Play,
the tale of a Bedouin girl, Salma, and the ‘poisonous’ tales she spins in the
desert.
Like a scorpion that holds poison
in its tail, these stories carry sting in the end; something that will take
your breath away, leaving you wondering at the alacrity at which life and its
situations jump at you, unannounced.
The fourteen stories have been
written in simple, crisp manner to appeal to a wider section of readers.
