The complexities of urban living are depicted in apparently simple storylines and day-to-day situations, but the author frequently forays into the minds of the characters to fathom human desires and anxieties. The chaos, violence and disorder occurring in the physical world are reflected in the recesses of the mind, which makes reading the stories both fascinating and puzzling. Saikia's characters lead a multi-layered life in search of identity and purpose, and display as well as hide their joy and tears. This collection of twenty stories in English translation represents a rich oeuvre that earned the author the Sahitya Akademi award in 2015, for his 'post-modernist style of storytelling with an occasional touch of magic realism'." --Google books. 500 $a Short stories. 546 $a In English, translated from original Assamese. 505 0 $a If a river -- The bridge -- The station -- Well-wishers -- The birthmark -- The queue -- Leopards in the city -- In the rain -- The will -- The reunion -- Whispers -- The gift -- The timeless flavour -- Morning walk -- One last time -- A wax statue -- The game -- A slip of paper -- The football -- The final hour. 650 0 $a Short stories, Assamese $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Assamese literature $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Short stories $v Fiction $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Literature. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Baruah, Rupanjali, $e translator. 700 1 $a Rashid, Parveena, $e translator. 700 1 $a Lahkar, Rhinusmita Kakoty, $e translator. 700 1 $a Goswami, Stuti, $e translator. 700 1 $a Barkotoki, Meenaxi, $e translator. 700 1 $a Sharma, Neeta, $e translator. 830 0 $a Ratna translation series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015633.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2FCC01EFFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
