Quarantine: Stories

Quarantine by Rahul Mehta is a collection of linked short stories about young Indian-American men navigating identity, intimacy, family expectations and belonging. The characters move through contemporary lives shaped by friendship, attraction and personal ambition, while family histories and cultural traditions continue to influence how they see themselves and one another.

Mehta's fiction explores the small moments in which people feel close to others or suddenly out of place. The stories balance humour with emotional candour, examining how relationships develop when desire, community and self-understanding do not always align. Together, they create a nuanced portrait of people negotiating different cultural worlds without reducing their experiences to a single label.

A thoughtful choice for readers of contemporary literary fiction, short stories and writing about identity, connection and the search for belonging.
