About the Book

The Anti-romantics, a collection of Odia short stories in English translation, unique in theme, taste, style and technique, entirely different and free from the contemporary experiments and isms shows the creative artist's extra-ordinary understanding of the world and human life particularly when he gives the status of heroes and heroines to those marginalized who hitherto were unrecognized, unwanted neglected and looked down upon, and deemed unfit and unsuitable in the world of literature. They are the anti-romantics the readers meet in these stories who tell about them in their own ways.

About the Author

Basant Kumar Satpathy (1913-1994), one of the last Odia men of letters a Sahitya Akademi award-winner, master story-teller, a prolific essayist and critic, an editor, a life-writer, a belletrist, a playwright, a translator and a writer of Children's Literature is a versatile literary genius without whose contribution 'a branch of Odia Literature [the short story] would not have been so enriched and developed. His stories, faithful to Fakir Mohan's tale-telling-no-jerk and no-twist style are unique in taste and style, synchronising the three significant chords namely, humour, satire and pathos into a rare symphony. With his self-directed irony, he is adept at showing the mirror to the reader, the hypocrite in us while giving unanticipated aesthetic pleasure.
