Notes of a Mediocre Man: Stories of India & America: Stories of India and America (Essential Prose, 130, Band 130) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Two brothers come to school and do nothing but tell stories. A young woman works at the Indian Consulate in a major American city. A man goes to a singles dance. An unnamed narrator offers his “notes” on modern-day America. An old Jewish man in a nursing home tells the tale of his daughter. A retired man in India tries to collect his pension. A woman tells the story of her husband's death in partition India. A man goes from interview to interview, hoping for employment. Some stories are fable-like, others more realistic. However, all stories deal, in one way or another, with small, “mediocre” people—people trying to fit into a world of bigness, applause, success.
