EARTH QUAKES Paperback

The title "Earth Quakes" can refer to a variety of books, but a prominent recent example is "The Earth Quakes: Late Anti-Stories" by Subimal Misra, translated from Bengali by V. Ramaswamy. This collection showcases the final creations of the acclaimed and experimental "anti-writer," Subimal Misra, bringing together twenty stories written between 1991 and 2010. Misra's work is known for its confrontational nature, challenging and provoking readers morally, politically, and in their expectations of literature. The stories in this volume range from global events like the 1991 Gulf War to local movements such as the 2006 Singur agitation, offering a unique and often unsettling perspective on societal shifts and human experience. It serves as a fitting culmination to the groundbreaking translation project of Misra's distinctive and radical literary contributions.
