<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;
font-family:"Google Sans",sans-serif" lang="EN-US">Literature interprets life, so do
Gourahari Das’s stories in ‘Koraput and Other stories’ give expression to
the diverse strangeness of man’s life vacillating perpetually like a pendulum
between fear and greed. The emotions of common laborer sacrificed at the
excruciating altar of a bedazzled open economy, the tribal dreams suppressed
under government’s red-tape, the simple faith tangled in the narrow lane of
fatalism and futurism, and the light of patriotism lost in the fog of artificial
love-show has been so graphically delineated. It’s true that the stories of
‘Koraput and Other Stories’ narrate the stories of the long, narrow murky
tunnels but nonetheless, they indicate the possibility of some light at the
journey’s end. This hard-to-put-down collection par excellence has that
magnitude capable of expanding the readers’ point of view with respect to human behavior. </span></p>
