Check in every Thursday for a new set of five! Today we have Duniyadari by Suhas Shirvalkar and Kajalmaya by G.A. Kulkarni among others.
Duniyadari by Suhas Shirvalkar
The novel takes you on a ride through college life when individuals get their first taste of reality. Although it is set in Pune, these events can be found happening in any college across the nation (from cart91.com).
Vyakti Ani Valli by P. L. Deshpande
Winner of the Sahitya Akademi Award, Vyakti Ani Vyalli is a collection of character outlines with a fine variety mirroring the differences of life. Out of the twenty stories in the book, the one about Bhaiyya Nagpurkar is the most apt for the times. The lead character is a Brahmin by birth, but it is often presumed that he is Muslim; he is a rich and rather notorious man, and yet he respects Gandhiji (from cart91.com).
Kajalmaya by G.A. Kulkarni
A recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Award for this collection of short stories, Kulkarni creates a world of his own where his characters are in pursuit of an unknowable destiny. A dark mode reflects the inscrutable ways in which destiny shadows his characters. His use of symbolism, allegory and irony provides his stories a unique texture and ethos. His world encompasses a wide diversity of locales, situations, characters and experiences, and is complemented by his keen observation of human, animal, and social worlds in their beauty and deformity.
Bhijaki Vahi by Arun Kolatkar
Winner of the Sahitya Akademi Award, this collection of allegorical and narrative poetry contains twenty five poems portraying the suffering of women from Indian, Greek, Egyptian, Arabic and South Indian legends. The book includes his interpretation of 'Sarpa Satra' or 'Snake Sacrifice' in a poem by the same name (from Shodh.net).
Golpitha by Namdeo Dhasal
Golpitha is a collection of poems that belongs to the tradition of modern urban poetry from the Sahitya Akademi Award winning Dali poet and activist who was one of the founding members of the Dalit Panthers, a militant organization modelled after the Black Panthers.
