A Slice of Trust

₹270.00

Yashobanta Samal is one of those few storytellers in Odia who portrays the society around him with a sharp sense of humanity without loading the stories with heavy philosophical speculation or abstraction. The world as he surveys is not an ideal world; it is inhabited by people of all sorts of character who seem to be moving somewhere around us. Their honesty, simplicity, hypocrisy, follies and foibles constitute the warp and woof of the fabric of his stories. The characters with their commonplace attributes seem one amongst us; a familiar friend who has grown up with us; or an acquaintance next door or a simple folk we come across in our daily life whom we look up to with awe, wonder, ridicule, compassion and humour.
