When Crows Wore Sunglasses is a unique collection of short stories that pull you in and end with a powerful final line(s) that leave you reconsidering the whole story over again.
The best of the stories wonderfully balance glimpses into Southern Indian culture, while remaining approachable and poignant to a western reader. As a first time author in English, I was impressed by Vivek's ability to craft entertaining stories and I am excited to see him grow as an author.
Stand out stories for me were:
-Eras - A harrowing tale with intriguing mythology
-Knock Knock Knock - A story I would have loved to see expanded into longer form to build up the early tension even longer
-The Pothigai Express - A moving tale that has one of the strongest endings in the collection
