A representative anthology of revered Bengali poet Mridul Dasgupta, presented in dynamic English translations by Anindita Mukherjee.
Quirky at times, humorous at others, these beautifully told narratives roam across dimensions and worlds, with a delicacy of touch that evokes spirits as well as mango-greedy matrons, the seasons as well as preparations for contemporary Bihu celebrations, folk tales as well as life in an urban colony. These highly inventive stories make for a very absorbing read for the young readers as well as the older ones.
Suicide is a coward’s conclusion. But Rishin is not one. Not everyone can thrive in the darkness, George does. Not everybody gets a second chance, but Payel did; spiralling down into the abyss until she was saved. Mandira is in love but with the man or the monster? In this game of life and death, who shall honor the code and who will snap?
The night is young. Let the hunt begin.
Poetry starts at the border where the narrative stops. It ventures into regions of the unconscious where nothing is clear or distinctly defined; it navigates through the fog, collecting impressions, intuitions, and diffused emotions; it gives up the clarity of prose, with its extended metaphors, its inner monologues, and the “clear enigma” of its symbols, becoming lost in a darker and more dangerous world, where ideas are fleetingly illuminated by flashes of intuition and by sudden and frightening insights.
Inspired by the freedom movement of Bangladesh, Dipen Bhattacharya conjures an one of a kind fantasy of alternating timescapes and realities. Rebellion and remembrances join in one unique chorus to narrate a timeless saga of love,war, hope and inspirations.
