Summary

"Call of the Wild" is the story of Buck, a magnificent dog who is stolen from his idyllic life and sold for use on a Yukon dogsled team. His travels are not only of a physical nature, as he learns hard discipline from men who must discipline their dog teams, but his own journey back to his primordial roots in the frozen tundra - the roots of wolf. This amazing story of transformation is beautifully written and provides a glimpse of the hard life in the Yukon Territory during the 1900s.

    Seamlessly transitioning between the absurd and the tenderhearted, balancing acerbic humor with sharp emotional depth, Afterparties offers an expansive portrait of the lives of Cambodian-Americans. As the children of refugees carve out radical new paths for themselves in California, they shoulder the inherited weight of the Khmer Rouge genocide and grapple with the complexities of race, sexuality, friendship, and family.

And in the sweeping final story, a nine-year-old child learns that his mother survived a racist school shooter. 
    The stories in Afterparties, “powered by So’s skill with the telling detail, are like beams of wry, affectionate light, falling from different directions on a complicated, struggling, beloved American community” (George Saunders).

    Stories are one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements.  Whether written down or spoken they have an ability to capture our imagination and thoughts, and take us on incredible journeys in the space of a phrase and the turn of a page. 
     
    Within a few words of text or speech, new worlds and characters form, propelling a narrative to a conclusion with intricate ease. Finely crafted, perfectly formed these Miniature Masterpieces, at first thought, seem remarkably easy to conjure up. But ask any writer and they will tell you that distilling the essence of narrative and characters into a short story is one of the hardest acts of their literary craft.  Many attempt, but few achieve.

    Life brings along with it many stories…waiting to be heard…waiting to be read. And I too have heard many real life incidents from friends, family and others. Incidents which then would linger in my mind, far too long, and take paths, far too adventurous. It was not long before I started to jolt down these stories and narrate them into an audiobook, to turn real life episodes into fiction. The whole process of masking as another character, letting loose the creative possibilities, working with music was an unforgettable learning experience.   There is always something to learn from others. Real In Reel is all about reflections from the strange, small or big experiences of many in the most delightful manner.These stories have also had a great impact on my outlook in life. Occasionally I would find looking at my stories from a different point of view, so as to add more details and flavor to the situations and characters and, overtime I internalized these habits to my circumstances. It was not my will, but of those stories that have made themselves heard through me and led me to create this audiobook. I thank the many inspirations for this book and my father the most. ----- Shreyans Ranjalkar
