FAKKAD GOSHTI by SHANKAR PATIL

Patil`s writing has two banks, one having the happy side and one having the sad side. One awakens the sorrow and one brings cheerfulness. Patil never wrote for the sake of humour, but his stories have many unseen sown seeds of laughter. They are full of the contrast in life, the contrast is the central theme of his stories. Patil must get the credit for adding this caricature type stories to Marathi literature. The humorists are the wise men of the world because the most forcible way to impart truth is through laugh. Yes, Patil proves to this test. He is a very clever, astute, ingenious, naughty and mischievous writer. This book is a proof of his qualities.
