Winter Queen And Other Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789390119745)

'Winter Queen' is the story of a prostitute, who dares to state unhesitatingly, 'Out of all the visitors coming to this Bungalow, someone might be my real father and someone else might be my real brother........ It might sound unpleasant, but can you tell with certainty that none of them had not slept with me for the night in their subsequent visits?" In the story 'Anumeya's Self-Portrait' Anumeya is an effemite character, devoid of virility. He couldn't live with deception and ultimately had to commit suicide. 'The Eyes' is a psychological story. Elija's psychology was devastated. The eyes transplanted on her blind husband Nirod was doted by a jailbird and her rapist. How that strong feeling of hate towards those eyes ultimately brought separation between Elija and her husband has been beautifully rrated in the story. The story of a royal breed bitch Rocky and its high society master in 'The Path to Freedom' speaks of an obsession with class difference. Each story is gripping and caters to a different taste. A rickshaw-puller Sania is temporarily swayed away by the beauty of a young girl. In the end he realizes his folly to filly come back to the truth of his life; his wife, in 'The Colours of a Rainbow'. The reader is left with pure joy of reading a great literature. The surprising end in the story 'Grandfather's Beloved' will definitely blow the reader out of his wits.
