In 101 Twisted Tales, Dinesh Singh introduces a new genre into storytelling which he terms as a ‘prosaic version of the haiku’. Each story fits inside a single tweet and each tale ends with a twist which adds a special and surprising punch. This shall doubtless endear the form and the content to the reader. These 101 stories—in spite of their brevity—cover varied aspects of life and emotions and touch some chord or the other in the palette of human emotions. 101 Twisted Tales will compel you to reflect, laugh, and at times, even emote.
