Unfinished Business and Other Stories

Unfinished Business and Other Stories
 
Jayadeep Krishnan puts together a great read of twelve well-crafted stories. Each story is a slice of life, an experience that stays with you. Several of them are rooted in the life of the Indian ex-pat in America: the agony and the ecstasy, the struggles and victories, the lessons learnt.  They are almost a primer to an expat’s confrontation with the United States of America – as also with the ex-pat Indian community. Jayadeep’s stories are also well-etched studies in the human predicament which lends it universal appeal. He writes a simple, direct prose that goes to the heart of the matter.  Innovatively stylistic illustrations by the author’s daughter, Tamaara Nambiar, enrich this debut collection of stories which is sure to find a place in the hearts of fine readers everywhere.

Though previously recognized in technical and innovation spheres through journals and summits, Jay's venture into the realm of fiction is a fresh expedition. Through this new creative expression, he seeks to impart a profound message: our lives are a series of interconnected journeys, each marked by moments of chance that lead us to who we are in the present—every joy and sorrow, opportunity, and reflection are threads in the intricate web of causality that forms our individual destinies.
