CONTEMPORARY GLOBAL FICTION by Sushmindar Jeet Kaur

CONTEMPORARY GLOBAL FICTION by Sushmindar Jeet Kaur

₹750.00

In a world where boundaries are blurred and cultures clash, Contemporary Global Fiction opens a doorway into the complex experiences and stories of our time. With tales that traverse continents and cultures, this anthology captures the turbulent realities facing individuals worldwide. From shifting family structures and rising social inequities to the challenges of migration and identity, the stories delve into the universal struggles that shape modern life. This collection explores issues of migration and cultural dissonance with sensitivity, such as in Ravinder Singh Sodhi’s “Why Did Philip Flip,” which contrasts Eastern and Western cultural perspectives, and Avtar S. Sangha’s incisive “Keerti, Kalicharan and Karla,” which examines the tensions migration brings to both individuals and communities. Each story reflects a vital conversation on coexistence and understanding in a globalized world. The book also sheds light on movements for social justice, with narratives addressing themes like disability, caregiving, and gender inequality. “Davina” by Achingliu Kamei and “May, the Month of May” by Molly Joseph depict the emotional journey of parents of differently-abled children, while O. P. Arora and Harmanjot Kaur explore gender and caste inequities, questioning deep-rooted social norms and heralding hope for change. With loneliness now labeled a potential global epidemic, this volume also reflects on isolation in the digital age. Someeta Das’s “Ashray, The Refuge” offers a compelling story of resilience, turning loneliness into a source of strength and inspiration. The anthology’s young writers add fresh perspectives, such as Soumee Bhaumik’s gripping depiction of addiction in “Ordinary People” and Sargun Singh’s “A Change in Perspective,” which confronts the harsh reality of war. Edited with care by Dr. Sushmindar Jeet Kaur, Contemporary Global Fiction is an insightful anthology that captures the heartbeat of our times. This powerful collection provides readers not only a retreat into fiction but also a poignant reflection of the world, illuminating its challenges and its beauty, one story at a time.

    ভালবাসা, সম্পর্ক আর বিচ্ছেদের মোলায়েম যন্ত্রণায় বোনা এক অনুপম ছোটগল্প সঙ্কলন শ্রীতন্বী চক্রবর্তীর ‘রাহী’। পাহাড়, শহর, ভ্রমণ আর স্মৃতির অলিগলিতে হাঁটতে হাঁটতে মানুষ খুঁজে পায় নিজের হারানো মুখ। এখানে প্রেম কখনও আশ্রয়, কখনও নির্বাসন; সম্পর্ক কখনও বন্ধন, কখনও মুক্তির পথ। প্রতিটি গল্পে নীরব অনুরণনে বাজে অপেক্ষা, বিচ্ছেদ আর পুনর্মিলনের সুর—যেখানে হৃদয়ের গভীরে জন্ম নেয় এক চিরযাত্রা, নাম তার ‘রাহী’।‘রোপওয়ে’ গল্পে পাহাড়ি যাত্রার মাঝখানে পুরনো প্রেমের মুখোমুখি হওয়া—অতীতের স্মৃতি আর বর্তমানের দ্বন্দ্ব একসাথে কেঁপে ওঠে। ‘পুরস্কার’-এ কর্পোরেট সাহিত্যজগতের আড়ালে লুকিয়ে থাকা নিঃসঙ্গতা ও অপ্রত্যাশিত অনুভব নতুন সম্পর্কের ইঙ্গিত দেয়। ‘রাহী’ নিজেই এক ভ্রাম্যমাণ প্রেমিকার গল্প—ভালবাসা, পাহাড়ি নদী ও অভিমানের মধ্যে দিয়ে এক নারীর অন্তর্গত যাত্রা। ‘অরিজ়ুরুর কথা’-য় কাগজের সারসের মতো ভঙ্গুর জীবনে জন্ম নেয় আশার আলো, যেখানে অসুস্থতার মধ্যেও নতুন সম্পর্ক জীবনের মানে বদলে দেয়। ‘শ্রাবণ’-এ বিদেশের শহরে এক গবেষক ও হিউম্যানয়েডের প্রেম, ঈর্ষা ও স্বীকারোক্তির ভেতর দিয়ে সম্পর্কের রূপান্তর ধরা পড়ে। ‘প্রেক্ষাপ্রিয়’, ‘ব্ল্যাক প্যান্থার’, ‘রাইরাংপুরের চিঠি’, ‘পত্রপাঠ’ ও ‘অকস্মাৎ’—এই গল্পগুলোতে রয়েছে দূরত্ব, স্মৃতি, চিঠি আর হঠাৎ ঘটে যাওয়া সাক্ষাতে বদলে যাওয়া জীবনের দিকনির্দেশ। নাটকের জীবন, আর জীবনের নাটক, সব মিলিয়ে, ‘রাহী’ হল হৃদয়ের যাত্রাপথ—যেখানে প্রেম কখনও আশ্রয়, কখনও নির্বাসন, আর বিচ্ছেদও হয়ে ওঠে আত্ম-অন্বেষণের এক নীরব গান।
