Description

This book brings together significant work by both established and emergent writers in order to be representative, as far as possible, of the contemporary short story scene in Bengal.

The selection of authors and texts demonstrates the vitality and resilience of Bangla short story genre. In their elaborate social detailing, in the rituals of everyday life, in the colloquialisms, these stories evoke both the sense of specific regional identity as also the nuances of modernity.
