Missed Connections is a buffet of contemporary microfiction ― literary and graphic ― from across Asia. The book delivers fiction in small, delectable and entirely substantial bites, because whether we like it or not, the average contemporary reader has limited time and a diminished attention span due to the immense sprawl of content at her fingertips and the nature of everyday life itself.
