Remembering Subimal Misra | Excerpts

Share

SUBIMAL MISRA (b. 1943) has been called the only anti-establishment writer in Bengali. Influenced by the cinema of Sergei Eisenstein and Jean-Luc Godard, Misra experimented with the use of film language in Bengali writing even as he made William Burroughs’s cut method his own. With his very first collection of stories, Haran Majhi’s Widow’s Corpse or the Golden Gandhi Statue (1971), he signalled his departure from conventional narrative fiction. He has written exclusively for little magazines. Misra’s stories, novelettes, novellas, novels, a play, essays and interviews comprise over thirty volumes.

Celebrate his volcanic literary legacy with some superb excerpts from his books, along with an EXCLUSIVE excerpt from his forthcoming collection of short stories: The Earth Quakes: Late Anti-Stories.

Translated masterfully from the Bengali by V. Ramaswamy.
