The Mynah Bird’s Testimony and Other Stories – Shahaduz Zaman, Translated by V.Ramaswamy and Noora Shamsi Bahar

Description

“He had realised that man walked endlessly on a tightrope – at one end of which lay truth, with falsehood on the other. He had realised that constructing the truth according to the situation was what clever folk did.”

Deftly translated, the twelve stories of this Anthology explore Shahaduz Zaman’s keen insight into the myriad aspects of human consciousness, of walking the tightrope of life, the possibility of morality, humanity, goodness in the face of war, greed and corruption.
