The Five-Dollar Smile is a collection of stories of young love and disaffection, adolescent high spirits and youthful traumas; there are also stories, written with the energy and passion of youth, which deal with very adult subjects: death, deceit, loss, hypocrisy, honour.
Sensitive, compelling and persuasive, these stories, written for the most part in Shashi Tharoor`s late teens and early twenties, reveal an already formidable talent.
Rounding off the collection is a marvellously inventive play set in the time of the Emergency.
