Tales from Her Pen
A well translated work has in it the beauty of all these truths. Assam, a state of the Northeast of India has her own realities, her fiction, her men and women, living out their lives, in situations, that time and history has created. The Assamese tongue is a fine one, soft and melodious, and her women folk sheltered and protected, are soft beings lost amidst a vibrant crowd. The Assamese tongue has its own nuances, its own edge. The stories and realities of this corner of India need to reach out to different people and countries, so that people speaking an alien tongue may read them. It is necessary for a global understanding. The stories are all very well translated. They throw the beam of the torchlight on that pertinent angle of social fracture. There the mind is a prisoner. There is Madhavi, Suchana, Leem, Loya, Baruna Chaliha, Aijoni...on the surfaces of the prism of life. "TALES FROM HER PEN" is an excellently translated work of Assamese stories, highlighting the facts of sanguine desire, ruddy perspectives, dreams of salad days, wry hopes and rumpled dreams. TALES FROM HER PEN has it all in Snigdhamalati Neog's brilliant translation of the contemporary women's stories.

There is a curiously heaving picture of grief, bright hope, social angst, diversified norms, subtle and pronounced, where schisms run deep and wide. The old-world charm is taken over by the avant-garde appeal of the later poets. The anthology does not seek casual browsing by readers, for there are verses that need to be dwelt on with...
