About The Book

Muhurtakatha is a remarkable collection of selected short stories by the fearless and celebrated writer Taslima Nasrin, known for her bold feminist voice and unwavering commitment to truth. This volume brings together powerful narratives that resonate with raw emotion, social critique, and a deep humanistic concern—hallmarks of Taslima’s literary legacy.

In these stories, readers are transported into a world that is at once deeply personal and universally political. Free from the confines of traditional storytelling, these tales reflect a society unshackled by orthodoxy, written in a voice that is both intimate and revolutionary. Like sharp arrows, her words pierce through the veils of patriarchy, religious dogma, and social injustice.

Each story in Muhurtakatha stands out as a window into the soul of contemporary human existence—fearless, questioning, and compassionate. From everyday life to extraordinary reflections on identity, freedom, and resistance, Taslima Nasrin’s storytelling is both provocative and enlightening.

The collection draws from her wide body of work, including masterpieces like Shodh, Lajja, and Utpal, making it a literary essential for those who seek to understand not just the woman behind the words, but the world she dares to challenge.

This book isn’t just a read—it’s an awakening. In a world that desperately needs voices of resistance and resilience, Muhurtakatha is a torchbearer that lights up the path of truth, equality, and human dignity.
