Produktbeschreibung
Tarjani (Index Finger) is a collection of fourteen short stories which appeared earlier in well-known Odia magazines and were loved by readers. These stories are based on day-to-day lives of individuals, exploring human behaviour, personal beliefs, loneliness and even idiosyncrasies. Some social customs have been lampooned without any pedagogical pretensions. Joy and pain have both been celebrated with clever twists. The themes are varied, some of them being quaint tales told with simplicity and detachment. The title story starts with death but ends with life, exploring generational relationships. Subtle humour is used as an effective tool in many stories. The author is nowhere condescending but has assumed the role of a detached reporter of life as it moves. Readers will find every story a compelling read, urging them not to put the book down.
Autorenporträt
Satya Misra (b.1952) shot to fame in early seventies of last century as a pioneer of new wave fiction in Odia. His first volume of short stories "Bahubachan" was published in 1973 after which he disappeared from the literary scene which intrigued his readers . After a prolonged hibernation, he resurrected himself in 2013 and recaptured the slot vacated by him earlier. His second volume of stories "Michha Raastara Sata" was published in December 2019. His stories are firmly rooted in daily lives of average individuals, often delving into their psyche without appearing intrusive. Some of his stories have been translated into other Indian languages. He has also self-translated few stories into English which have appeared in national and international publications.
