A
sketch is not just superficial lines:
‘The Solicitous Balloons’ looks
like a collection of short-stories, but a reader invariably feels that these
are not short stories. They are all deeply rooted to contemporary reality. As a
genre, they have better claim to sketches. They are linear brief presentation
of what author sees. A sketch is not just superficial lines. The lines reveal
the inner world through suggestion. These sketches also tell more things
between the lines. They tell us of new dimensions hidden in the apparently
simple anecdotes. The Solicitous Balloons present an interesting and pleasant
reading.
