#QOTD – Are you a fan of short stories?

I picked this book up from @oxfordbookstores
only because I saw Assam in the title. Sometimes when you have never lived in your hometown, you tend to find a connection from anything vaguely resembling your roots.
A Game of Chess is a collection of fifteen short stories originally written in Assamese. Although, I was under the impression that the stories would be based on Assam.
All the stories were great, but I found a few boring – especially the non-fiction one.
Otherwise, an average read.
