A story and a novella - Bharati Mukherjee - 207 / 365 of reading one short story every day.

Isolated Incidents


One of her short stories entitled “Isolated Incidents” explores the biased Canadian view towards immigrants that she encountered, as well as how governmental agencies handled assaults on particular races.


Leave It to Me - a novella


In Leave It to Me, Mukherjee tells the story of a young woman who is a sociopath named Debby DiMartino, who seeks revenge on parents who abandoned her. 

Set in a mythical tone, the story reveals her ungrateful interaction with kind adoptive parents and a vengeful search for her real parents (described as a murderer and a flower child). 
The novel also looks at the conflict between Eastern and Western worlds and at mother-daughter relationships.
