Abstract

Balrāj Menra’s short story represents both the urban culture of Delhi and the rural culture of Punjab in general. He is thus believed to be a true representative of his time. He constructs his short story in an aura of surrealism and / or magical realism, depicting the layered and complex realities of the contemporary age. He considers this craft as one with painting, music or film. Many of his stories are almost a poetic rendering, differing however in his use of characters and situations to construct the narrative. He also uses some techniques of the visual arts in the construction of his stories. This article analyses in detail his art of writing the short story.
