The last SMS and other stories

In the title story of this collection, a viral video becomes a media sensation that has a collateral impact on the protagonist's life.

In the other stories, dreams collide with reality which in turn collides with imagination; a writer searches for a story's end; a machine predicts expiry dates of Governments and enterprises; five answers can change a young man's life; and a couple's disastrous at
tempt to understand each other.

The real world of these characters often overlaps with the metaphysical, making bizarre situations seem perfectly ordinary and commonplace. In his debut venture, Sanath creates a palpable uncertainty and an ironical strain across his stories, with characters who could easily be your next door neighbour and your worst nightmare at the same time. The Last SMS houses stories where the unexpected is the only constant; stories that will play on your mind long after you finish reading them
