I recently read this collection of Bengali short stories translated from the original by Arunava Sinha. It is simply outstanding – to put it in short. Verily a collection of carefully curated masterpieces by some of the most well-known as well as not so famous writers from Bengal that provide the reader with the cultural, social milieu of Bengal over the past hundred years or so with characters and stories that remain well-etched on your psyche.
Here is a short review of the book that I wrote on Amazon:
“What a treasure trove of short stories from Bengal this book is! Filled with exceptional pieces that will move you and stay with you for long, this contain masterpieces from stalwarts translated by an expert reader and writer so well that as a reader, I felt these stories were written in English. A collection that one can go back to again. I hope they come up with the next best 21 set soon.”
Clearly, I loved reading this collection!
