THE COLLECTED WORKS OF HOMEN BORGOHAIN

Translated by Pradipta Borgohain

Homen Borgohain is one of Assam’s most acclaimed writers. This collection of his novellas and short stories, translated by his son Pradipta, includes Matsyagandha, a tale of inter-caste marriage and drug addiction, and numerous stories about middle-class life in contemporary Assam. Borgohain’s stories reflect upon modern forms of social hypocrisy and moral corruption, while retaining irony and humour.
