Discover ‘Oblivion and Other Stories,’ a compelling anthology featuring twenty poignant short stories by the acclaimed Gopinath Mohanty, a titan of Odia literature. Spanning from 1935 to 1988, these translated works offer a rich tapestry of Mohanty’s diverse themes and narrative prowess. Explore tales that illuminate the lives of the marginalized – the poor, tribals, and ordinary people often overlooked in 20th-century feudal Orissa. Originally penned in Odia by this Padma Bhushan awardee, these stories, translated into English for the first time, vividly recreate mid-20th century Indian social life. They present an unvarnished portrait of society, focusing on themes of dispossession, social exclusivity, and the lack of education. ‘Oblivion and Other Stories’ is essential reading for anyone interested in Indian literature and social history.
