Synopsis Dr. Mallikarjun Patil’s Stories of a Campus is a book of ten short stories. Most of these stories depict certain humorous and awkward persons and situations of Pampapati University Campus, Pampapattan. This University, according to author, is fictitious. The live characters are portrayed here with their desires, faiths and failings. Some of the stories are on experimental basis. They are written in Patil’s own idiom. The wonders, gimmicks, eccentricities, business, etc. of men are faithfully sketched. The portraiture of men and women are vivid and lively. No doubt, stories like ‘Kallappa’s Search for a Bride,’ ‘Money Making Business’ are of special interest. Indeed, this book of stories is a rare work by a new genius.
