Produktinformationen zu „The Earth Quakes (ePub)“

Subimal Misra - anarchist, activist, anti-establishment, experimental 'anti-writer' - was a literary genius, and among India's greatest contemporary masters. Misra's works are confrontational, and challenge and provoke readers morally, politically, and in their expectations of literature. The Earth Quakes: Late Anti-Stories brings together his final creations: twenty stories written between 1991 and 2010, their subjects ranging from the 'global' - the Gulf War of 1991, which heralded the post-Cold War unipolar world - to the very 'local' - the Singur movement of 2006 that led to the unseating of the all-powerful CPI(M), which had ruled the state of West Bengal since 1977. As unique and unprecedented as each of the earlier volumes, The Earth Quakes is a fitting finale to the groundbreaking Subimal Misra translation project undertaken by translator-activist extraordinaire V. Ramaswamy.

Autoren-Porträt von Subimal Misra

Subimal Misra was born in 1943 and his writing career spanned over four decades. The cliched label, 'anti-establishment', is often applied the moment his name is mentioned. But since 'anti-establishment' now seeks to become the establishment, he opposed that too. He was entirely a little-magazine writer, not having written a single letter outside little magazines in his career. Some say Misra brought a different genre into Bengali literature, which made his writing distinctive. From a stance of all-round opposition he said, 'I try to think differently and yet people make an uproar about me - the two can't coexist, that can't be. If I attain instant recognition and popularity, then I would think that what I'm doing is not new.' When the way of saying becomes the subject was one of his favourite expressions, with a debt to Jean-Luc Godard, of course. He also said that he didn't believe in any prevalent one-dimensional label: Whatever is accepted as correct is what has to be examined much more. Misra passed away in February 2023.
