Three Stories

Jibanananda Das

0/5 ( ratings)

Reading Jibanananda Das's stories is like entering straight into the middle-class Bengali mind with its desire, ambition, morbidity and despair. Through the narratives around three men whose melancholy defines the structure of these three stories, the writer re-examines the concepts of success and failure, desire and fulfillment, love and weariness, ennui and death. While the insights are those of a poet, these stories marked by Jibanananda's deep involvement with Bengali landscape, cuisine and culture, transcend his lyrical impulse to become proper, if technically innovative, short stories with the touch of a master of the genre. Chandak Chattarji's English versions have been able to capture the provincial setting and style of the original narratives keeping intact their nuanced psychological implications and larger insights into the human condition." - K. Satchidanandan "It has been a privilege to discover Das the writer of fiction through Chandak Chattarji's elegant and sensitive translation of three of the master's short stories, 'Chhaya Nat' , 'Gram o Shohorer Galpo' , and 'Bilash' ." - Ranjit Hoskote
