Vyasa and Vighneshwara
Vyasa and Vighneshwara is a fine example of storytelling at its best. A complete piece of work, it leaves the reader to discover and explore stories within stories, past within the future, memory within myth.

Vyankatesh Madgulkar
Vyankatesh Madgulkar (1927–2001) was one of the pioneers of modernist short fiction (nav katha) as well as ‘rural’ (grameen) fiction in Marathi in the post-World War II era. He wrote eight novels, two hundred short stories, several plays, including some notable ‘folk plays’ (loknatya), screenplays and dialogues for more than eighty Marathi films.

Part of the Writer in Context series, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of Indian literature, Marathi literature, English literature, comparative literature, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, global south studies and translation studies.
