About This Book
As the blurb explains: "The sixteen stories in this special volume, mostly translated from Konkani and Marathi, delve
into the depths of dignity-robbing poverty, the callousness of the landed gently, the heroic efforts of individuals to
rise over shackling superstition and caste barriers and the inviolable hold of the ancestral village. This is a Goa far removed from the tourism brochure. And if there is a palm tree depicted in these stories, it carries a bonded coconut-plucker, thirsty for revenge. It does not sway."
