Some stories are brilliant, especially the ones criticising Marxist movement in Kerala of earlier times. Though some may attribute this to Keshavadev being personally opposed to communism, it can't counter the fact that many things that he points out is still relevant today. Some other stories seemed a little odd, probably because they were written almost half a century back. It was difficult to believe that the protagonists in some of those stories could be so naive. Or does it mean that those were better times that such naivety was normal?!

Collection of some brilliantly narrated stories and some average ones. Definitely a good-read.
