“Book Descriptions: In his collection of short stories, Manoj Kumar Goswami intricately acknowledges the horrors of intimate struggles among the natives of Assam. Irrespective of their professions, the characters always find themselves in a dilemma, dealing with the overarching theme of humanity. Love wears a veil of trust and longingness, only to be shattered by bleak reality. ‘Muppet and Other Stories’ boils in the realm of characters like the old woman, who is blissfully satisfied at being the only one to know about her deceased husband’s darkest secrets and Ajan at the bookstall, fantasising about a woman in a sky-blue saree, exploring opportunities to begin a new life with her. These thought-provoking stories haul us towards the wavering bridge of humanity and uncover astonishing stories, bound to be hidden in everyday life.” DRIVE
