About the Book
Contemporary Urdu Short Stories from Kolkata explores the diverse narratives of Urdu literature from the city, offering a fresh perspective on the complexity of human relationships and the experiences of modern Kolkata. This anthology moves beyond the well-known bhadralok (upper-class Bengali) culture and presents a wider range of stories that reflect the multicultural fabric of the city.
Key themes explored include:
-
A writer’s quest to understand why a railway clock has stopped.
-
The fragility of human relationships and how a blossoming friendship can quickly sour.
-
The layered intricacies of urban life in Kolkata, seen through the lens of contemporary Urdu literature.
This collection is a testament to the richness of Kolkata’s diverse culture and the evolution of Urdu short stories in modern times.
