'Subimal Misra may be the most important Bengali writer alive whom you have never heard of.' - The Statesman

'Long before Roberto Bolano, Misra had captured the disturbing, enigmatic landscape of the counterculture in a way that is subversive without being pretentious, Indian without being exotic, and somehow both contemporary and classic at once.' - The New Indian Express

Audacious experimentalist and self-declared anti-writer, Subimal Misra is the master of contemporary alternative Bengali literature and anti-establishment writing. This collection brings together twenty-five stories that record the dark history of violence and degeneration in Bengal of the seventies and eighties. The mirror that Misra holds up to society breaks every canon of rectitude with unfailing precision. The stories also plot the continuous evolution of Misra's writing as he searches for a form to do justice to the reality that confronts us.Deeply influenced by Godard, Misra uses montage and other cinematic techniques in his stories, which he himself calls 'anti-stories', challenging our notions of reading and of literature itself. Brilliantly translated by V. Ramaswamy, Wild Animals Prohibited: Stories/Anti-stories startles with its blasphemy, its provocative ideas and its sheer formlessness.

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 opposes that too. He is entirely a little-magazine writer, not having written a single letter outside little magazines in his entire writing career. Some say Misra brought a different genre into Bengali literature, which made his writing distinctive. From a stance of all-round opposition he says, '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.' One of his favourite expressions is 'when the way of saying becomes the subject', with a debt to Jean-Luc Godard of course. He also says that he doesn'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.
