The book puts together translations of selected short stories by Bangladeshi writers, both renowned and award-winning as well as by upcoming young writers. They range in theme and style to provide a glimpse of the varied life of people in Bangladesh as well as the richness of its contemporary literature. Hasan Azizul Huq's "Nobody Came to See Him" and Rashid Haider's "Address Uncertain" relate to the liberation war, while Rizia Rahman's "A Poet, A Crow, and the War- Horse of Chengiz Khan" and Audity Falguni's "Crossfire" are concerned in different ways about present social and political ills. Syed Shamsul Haq's "To Live the Fantasy," Rahat Khan's "Home and Abroad," and Mahbub Talukdar's "Safar Ali's American Sojourn" suggest the restlessness of the Bangladeshi who attempts to find happiness abroad, either in the Middle East or in the United States. Makbula Manzoor's "Primeval Anger," Purabi Basu's Saleha's Desire," Jharna Das Purkayastha's Alokapuri: The Palace of Bliss," Jahan Ara Siddiqui's "Justice," Masuda Bhatti's "The Palm Thorn" narrate in different ways the predicament of women in an often unjust world and how women sometimes take justice in their own hands.
