Panchashti Galpa by Shekhar Basu [Hardcover]

The short stories have such a hidden faintness that brings a strange atmosphere to the reader's mind, the taste of Sindh emerges at points. As much as is said in the story, there is more left unsaid. The storyteller knows himself in this game of not telling. Shekhar Bose is a worthy short story writer of a completely different taste. Literary Bimal Kar commented in an essay about Shekhar Bose's stories, "Shekhar often writes stories that create a strange atmosphere and atmosphere. Nothing is said clearly, nothing needs to be said.'' From among his numerous stories published in the last four decades, some outstanding creations have been selected. Shekhar Bose's 'Fifty Stories' carries the richness of diverse Bengali short stories.
