The greatest Odia stories ever told showcases odia’s greatest storytellers ranging from literary masters such as fakir Mohan Senapati, Gopinath Mohanty, Reba Ray and man’s Das to contemporary stalwarts like Pratibha Ray and nrusingha Tripathi, among others. A young woman who was dragged away by a crocodile mysteriously resurfaces after a decade in Manoj das’s ‘Mrs crocodile’; a pet goat let loose in a government Office causes amusement and chaos in Gopinath Mohanty’s ‘the solution’; Godavari’s mahapatra’s ‘maguni’s bullock cart’ deals with the anxieties of a bullock cart driver stuck between the trappings of traditions and modernity stories in this anthology traverse an exciting range of themes from fantasy to reality and bone-chilling horror to rib-tickling humour. Timeless, evocative and striking, the greatest Odia stories ever told offers a rich selection of stories that are unrivalled in their range, style and complexity. Selected and translated by leelawati Mohapatra, Paul st-pierre and K. K. Mohapatra, the twenty-four stories in this volume showcase the finest short fiction in Odia literature.
