The Full Platter Abha Iyengar

Abha Iyengar's THE FULL PLATTER is a serving of flash fiction. These short-short stories deliver the punch instantly, much like how a puchka breaks in your mouth in a go, releasing flavors that fill you up. You reach for one more, wishing to experience the sour with the sweet, the liquid with the solid, everything that dissolves within you as you read one story after another. The themes are universal, and the moments, often specific. These stories reflect life held under the microscope of flash and reveal much of what lies beneath the masks we wear every day, the burdens we carry, the lives we don't live but wish to live. These flash stories carry truths imbued with irony and often a certain kind of humor and will be relished long after the first read.
