The Smallest Stories to Extraordinary

By Dr. Priya Virmani

This book in a fresh, lifting voice unearths and highlights the joy and power enclosed in the everyday. Virmani’s short stories show us another side to daily life. They challenge the boredom and routine of the everyday in how they explore the simplicities of life to deliver delicately compelling insights. Virmani’s voice is bold in its empathy; courageous in its stance on gender issues that inform and colour daily experiences and in a simple, leading way proclaims a new, more joyful humanity born through how we perceive and live the minutiae of our daily lives. The stories are an array—some reverberate with a wondrous poignancy while others make a powerful comment on rampant inequalities; some are quietly intimate and others emphatically inspirational. Her short stories, written with truth and an intent to see the world a happier place, are a new voice in the genre of storytelling.
