The Caged – Ahana Biswas, Translated by Shamita Das Dasgupta

Description

Pari, breaks free from the traditional gender norms and carves an identity on a ground absolutely unexpected. Her beauty becomes a fatal machinery of destruction. Translated from the Bengali novella “Karabas” by Ahana Biswas, it delves into patriarchy’s core values—female roles, beauty, violence, desire, control, and power. “The Caged” portrays both crime and female empowerment with unparalleled depth and complexity.
