Order Now: The Strings of Humanity -3 [ A short story Anthology ]
Although born in India, Mini Menon spent most of her growing years in Kuwait. At the age of 14, she moved to the town of Thrissur, the cultural capital of Kerala, India. She has been living in Mumbai for the last thirty years with her family.
A collection of her short stories ‘Whispers at Twilight’ was published by UK-based Grenadier PP in 2008. ‘The Masterpiece’, her second book of short stories, was published in 2016.
Her poems have been regularly featured in the annual anthology of work done by members of UKAuthors.com where she used to contribute her short stories and poems under the pseudonym ‘niece’.
Three short stories have also featured in ‘Tales for a Long Flight’ published by Grenadier PP. Apart from fiction and poems, she is an avid blogger posting material mainly on travel, household philosophy, writing inspiration and poems on three separate blogs. Sketching and painting are her other passions.
Short stories are brief and entertaining narratives of a certain world or people. However, this collection of short stories by Mini Menon is not just a narrative but also a journey into the variety of day-to-day situations and events that have shaped the author’s life and thinking.
Be it a story of how an artist shocks her never-ceasing-to-denounce-her sister into complete silence, a story about a young prince whose toys were inspiration to a war winning strategy, or the story of a film buff’s strange interaction with a fellow movie-goer, one thing is for certain. Nothing will be as expected.
