Book Review:
''The Mirror of Paradise'' is a brilliantly crafted collection of satirical short stories by Asgar Hussein. Shortlisted for the Gratiaen Prize in 2009, this book showcases Hussein's sharp wit and keen observation of human nature.
The stories are set in a distinctive Sri Lankan context and explore the absurdities of life with humour and intelligence. Hussein's characters are fascinating and often find themselves in the most outlandish situations. His writing is thought-provoking and entertaining, making this a truly enjoyable read.
This is a must-read for anyone who appreciates satire and short fiction. It is a testament to Hussein's talent and a valuable addition to Sri Lankan English literature. Highly recommended!
