Description
Sutradhar is a dramatized retelling of events, myths and legends set across the arc of Indian history. In order to be relevant to the current social climate of India and the World, the stories are written from an authentic, firmly rooted Indic perspective, exploring a wide range of worldviews, sociological schemas and philosophical approaches within the context of the narratives. The seven tales that form this collection span multiple genres, from historical fantasy to cosmic horror, and are often tinged with dark, absurdist undertones. Reviews: "Our stories are the key to the continuity of Indic civilization. By continuously retelling and reinterpreting them for a new generation, we have kept alive this civilization. In this book, Ratul takes forward this important tradition - indeed, he is now part of that chain of Sutradhars." - Sanjeev Sanyal, Bestselling writer & internationally acclaimed economist “A rich tapestry of katha, rasa and niti woven on an intricate world built by the author's deep understanding of Indic philosophy and literature. Sutradhar makes for a complete reading experience that combines the author's poetical rhythmic style with a delightful story that keeps the pages turning. Ratul has opened a window to a new dimension of Indic fantasy.” - Saiswaroopa Iyer, Author "Mesmerizing prose! Stories told and untold came alive in all their splendour and vividness." - Abhinav Agarwal, Author – Predators and Prey, Curator of Indic Book Club "Set at different times in India's vast history, Sutradhar is a collection of brilliant short stories that are essentially about her people, their beliefs and disbeliefs, their desires and disappointments, their journeys through life. Ratul is an extremely gifted storyteller." - Bhavesh Kansara, Author - Twisted Threads
