Soft cover. Zustand: New. Harekrishna Deka, winner of the Sahitya Akademi Award and one of Assam's foremost writers, is renowned for his short stories that are as incisive as they are moving. In this selection of his finest short fiction, Deka gives us a searing vision of the human condition, even as he brings alive the unique l…andscape of Assam in unforgettable images. In the title story, an old woman, the only eyewitness to a crime, is forced to confront her own role in a long-forgotten murder, and the guilt that has lain dormant in her for years rears its monstrous head. 'The Temple' examines how society and religion create the 'other', and what happens when the marginalized refuse to lurk at the edges. 'The Captive' takes the reader through the forests and small hamlets that were once the refuge of militants as it tells the story of a kidnapped man and his unfathomable empathy with his captor. Startling, insightful, and original in tone and form, Guilt and Other Stories presents a world that is both tender and painful. Through the collection runs a vein of rich, dark humour along with a deep, inimitable understanding of Assamese society, culture and history. Brilliantly translated by Mitra Phukan, a celebrated writer herself, these stories will live in the reader's mind long after the last page has been turned.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. A mysterious letter arrives at the doorstep of an aging writer and swiftly begins to permeate everything he sees and touches. When he sets out on a journey to excavate the truth and its alibis his confrontation leads him deep into the human psyche and the turbulent ways of the civilised. Playing with th…e notions of shadowland and heartland , the stories of the narrator and his compatriots (nursing their own agendas) are cross-stitched with their anxious traversing of inner and outer worlds, interrogating the role of the reader and the writer and the degree of participation (or passivity) allowed to them. A deeply psychological tale of binaries, Deka s unfinished novel refuses the promise of easy answers. Yatra leaves one with the thought that perhaps our travels never really end when one journey ends we find ourselves at the beginning of another. About the author:Harekrishna Deka (b. 1943) is one of Assam s bestknown contemporary writers. He has won the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1987, and Katha Award in 1995.
