शिकायत मुझे भी है' में हरिशंकर परसाई के लगभग दो दर्जन निबन्ध संगृहीत हैं और इनमें से हर निबन्ध आज की वास्तविकता के किसी न किसी पक्ष पर चुटीला व्यंग्य करता है। परसाई के लेखन की यह विशेषता है कि वे केवल विनोद या परिहास के लिए नहीं लिखते। उनका सारा लेखन सोद्देश्य है और सभी रचनाओं के पीछे एक साफ-सुलझी हुई वैज्ञानिक जीवन-दृष्टि है, जो समाज में फैले हुए भ्रष्टाचार, ढोंग, अवसरवादिता, अन्धविश्वास साम्प्रदायिकता आदि कुप्रवृत्तियों पर तेज रोशनी डालने के लिए हर समय सतर्क रहती है।
