ReplyDeleteAbhijit Bhattacharya likes it simple! No complex sentences, convolutions, over-wrought descriptions or extensive metaphors for him. And it seems to be the right fit for stories which are short even for short stories. There’s simply no time to spend on anything other than plot. A bare and lean style, which makes the stories a quick read, may be just what young readers are looking for.
