Pratinidhi Kahaniyan : Geetanjali Shree
यह गीतांजलि श्री की कहानियों का प्रतिनिधि संचयन है। गीतांजलि की लगभग हर कहानी अपनी टोन की कहानी है और विचलन उनके यहाँ गभग नहीं के बराबर है और यह बात अपने आपमें आश्चर्यजनक है क्योंकि बड़े-से-बड़े लेखक कई बार बाहरी दबावों और वक़्ती ज़रूरतों के चलते अपनी मूल टोन से विचिलत हु...
Our City That Year
From the International Booker Prize-winning author-translator duo of Tomb of Sand, a powerful, kaleidoscopic novel about a fractured society, loosely based on the gathering violence that led to the demolition of the Babri Mosque by religious extremists in 1992. “That year, in our city, Hindus abandoned their pacifism. We’ve run out of other cheeks to turn, they proclaimed. We’re helpless! they screamed. They climbed atop mosques and waved the flag of Devi from the prongs of tridents proclaiming, What was done to us will be visited on them! Wrong shall be answered with wrong!” In an unnamed city in India, violence is erupting between Hindus and Muslims, each side viewing the other wit...

Mai
Behind the walls of a house in a North Indian town a whole world thrives—of the joint family, their attendants, their visitors. Three generations of women and their men live different strategies of adjustment and achievement to accommodate or challenge patriarchy. They seem to fit in recognised frames, but what are the subtle machinations behind the apparent stereotypes? It is that which the novel uncovers, in a tale told in deceptively simple terms, using smells, sounds, tastes and flavours, scenes and tiny signs, and incidents of a daily and ordinary existence to build, weave by weave, a rich and layered tapestry, saying always more than is apparent. At the centre is Mai, the mother, see...
The Roof Beneath Their Feet
In this beautifully crafted novel, roofs have a special place; they are meant for wild things, for romance and for play, they are places to dry pickles and grains while exchanging gossip about quiet caresses. But above all, they are realms of freedom. In The Roof Beneath their Feet, Chachcho and Lalna use their roofs to build a friendship that transcends time and memory. Suddenly one day, Lalna has to leave, to return only after Chachcho's passing. Amidst rumors and gossip in the neighborhood, Chachcho's nephew tries to piece together his memories of the two women, one of whom is his mother. The truth he is searching for could destroy him forever, but to not find out is no longer an option. A story of twists and turns, The Roof Beneath Their Feet, translated from the original Hindi by Rahul Soni, is easily one of the best contemporary novels you have read in a long time.

Tirohit
गीतांजलि श्री के लेखन में अमूमन, और तिरोहित में ख़ास तौर से, सब कुछ ऐसे अप्रकट ढंग से घटता है कि पाठक ठहर–से जाते हैं । जो कुछ मारके का है, जीवन को बदल देने वाला है, उपन्यास के फ्रेम के बाहर होता है । जि“न्दगियाँ चलती–बदलती हैं, नए–नए राग–द्वेष उभरते हैं, प्रतिदान और प्रतिश...
