Musatafa by Nikolai Grozni

Story : Mustafa
Author : Nikolai Grozni
Online Reading Link : Here
Quotes I loved from the story:
  No one in my family discussed anything of importance. Bad news was kept secret. Good news was treated with horror. Everyone believed that disclosing personal information, and taking pleasure in your achievements brought nothing but bad luck. If somebody in my family were to win the Nobel Peace Prize, they wouldn't tell anyone. They would take the Nobel Peace Prize, and then go home, expecting to die in the next hour.


My thoughts :
My first attempt at dark humor or whatever that means. It took me a long to analyse this story but it was worth reading. It has it's funny lines but in the end it does make you  think about the state of developing nations and the pathetic state of management of issues.


My Rating: 3.5 out of 5
