Book Title: The Divas of Pegasus Bar - The White Game
Author: Anuj Tikku
My Thoughts
Writer Anuj Tikku is one constant person who brings out stories based on the unsaid and untalked world we live in. I have read his previous stories that range from Mumbai dark places till Amritsar's Golden temple. His stories have characters that are extremely next door and simple with no complications.
Likewise, this story is about a person named Suleman Raj who wishes to invest his time and money in a new type bar that is inspired by the one he visited in Manila. He then escorts himself to various places in order to pick up the suitable female dancers in his new setup. Suleman's many encounters and meeting with people is what the story's crux is.
Talking about the literary values, writer Anuj's stories lack Grammar and vocabulary elements. In this story though nothing is misspelt, the story lacks entertainment and characters lack depth. Too many characters are introduced at every point of the story which leaves the readers confused. Barring all these editing issues the only reason I read Anuj Tikku's stories is to experience a new topic and dark sides of some lives.
