These short stories are a riveting exploration of love and desire. The worlds they open are mystical, metaphorical, absolutely surreal and playful—yet the concerns and questions raised in them are urgent and immediate. Nandini Gupta lucidly translates these stories, rendering Sadique Hossain’s unique voice accessible to a wider audience.
Born on December 11, 1981, in Maheshtala, South 24 Parganas, Sadique Hossain completed his secondary and higher secondary education at his village school and began studying information technology. For practical purposes, however, that course of study proved unviable. He later pursued multimedia and is presently employed in a private company. Till date, he has written three novels—Momen o Momana (2014), Mondela (2019), Bharatborsho (2024); five short story collections—Sommohon (2011), Gias Alir Prem o Tar Nijosso Shomoy (2014), Refugee Camp (2017), Harur Mahabharat (2019), Anandadhara (2021); a poetry collection titled Debota o Poshupakhi (2007); and a nonfiction work titled Selai-kora Manush (2025). He was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar (2012) and the Dolly Midya Smriti Puraskar for Sommohon. For Giyas Alir Prem o Tar Nijosso Shomoy, he received the Namita Chattopadhyay Smriti Puraskar (2015).
Dr. Nandini Gupta is a professor of electrical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. Apart from the requisite dry scientific publications, her translations of modern Bangla poetry into English have been included in national and international anthologies published by the Center for the Art of Translation (San Francisco), Oxford University Press India, among others. She regularly translates for the Parabaas webzine, and in 2018, her translation of Buddhadeva Basu’s memoir was published by Parabaas as The Land Where I Found It All.
