- Description: लेखक स्वयं प्रकाश कुछ भी कर सकते हैं. एक कहानी में, वह आपको इस तरह हंसा और रुला सकता है कि आपकी आंखें नम हो जाएंगी। सावधान, इस किताब में ऐसी कहानियाँ हैं जो आपको इतना हँसाएँगी कि आपका पेट दर्द करने लगेगा। इसका प्रभाव ग्लूकोज की तरह होता है। यह आपकी जीभ पर लगते ही घुल जाएगा और आपको हंसने पर मजबूर कर देगा. यह भी संभव है कि किस्सा आपके रक्तप्रवाह तक पहुंचे और आपके दिल को गर्म कर दे। यह आपको मास्टर कहानीकार चैपलिन की याद दिला सकता है। 30 बेमिसाल हास्य कहानियाँ.सुनी तो आपने होंगी लेकिन उन्हें इस शैली में केवल स्वयं प्रकाश ही बता सकते हैं. जो लोग लेखन शैली के मूल्य को कम आंकते हैं, उनके लिए हमारे पूर्वज ग़ालिब साहब याद दिलाते हैं कि इस दुनिया में कई अच्छे कहानीकार हैं... हांजी के बोलने के भाव, उनकी चारपाई, केश, टोपी और उनकी दाढ़ी, ठुड्डी ये सब अतनु रॉय के चित्रों में देखा जा सकता है।
