The Green of Bengal and Other Stories

In Gautam Benegal’s collection of short stories, the characters come alive with a familiarity that almost mirrors our own encounters with neighbors, uncles, and nieces. Set against the backdrop of Calcutta in the late 1980s and the early ’90s, these narratives capture a spectrum of human experiences. From a guest grappling with epic gastric trouble to a besieged political campaigner, a cruel critic, a secret murderer, and more, Benegal weaves tales that resonate with both nostalgia and darkness. The stories are not mere reflections of a bygone era but carry a timeless quality, each character embodying universal traits that transcend the specific time and place. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.14, kg Written_By: Gautam, Benegal Publisher: ‎, HarperCollins Book Type: Fiction Categories: Short, story Best For: Rich, and, nuanced, storytelling, within, the, realm, of, fiction Ages: 18+ Binding: Paper, Back Edition: 1st, edition, (10, November, 2014) Isbn: 9789351363729 Language: English Pages: 188 Printing Remarks: Imported Dimension: 14, x, 4, x, 20, cm Total Pages: 188
