The Love Letter and Other Stories
Summary
Easily one of the most towering figures of Bengali literature of the 20th century, Buddhadeva Bose was as prolific as he was versatile. A poet of renown, Bose was also an accomplished playwright, novelist, essayist and short-story writer. His prose is marked by invention, refreshing modernity and an easy yet deep engagement with timeless themes: love, the nature of memory, and the complexity of the relationship between man and woman - qualities which keep Bose’s work enduringly relevant. This collection brings together seven stories and two one-act plays which embody all of these qualities. In ‘The Love Letter’, Birupaksha Ray, a translator and a linguist, receives a ciphered missive from an old flame, unlocking which could occupy the rest of his life; in ‘A Scent of Tulsi’, Mihir, a husband comfortable in his patriarchy, discovers a side to his wife, Kamala, which shakes up his world. And, in Twenty-Five Years After - or Before, a one-act play, old lovers meet by chance at an international airport and talk about opportunities missed, and those not taken. Translated by Arunava Sinha with trademark flair and accuracy, The Love Letter and Other Stories demonstrates why Buddhadeva Bose occupies such a premier position in Bengali literature. This volume will appeal to Bose’s fans as well as to all lovers of great fiction.

Can Love Happen Twice
Summary
In today's generation, love and relationships have lost the profound effect that they used to have. In a generation where people want to experience non-committal relationships; where love has been reduced to physical intimacy and larger-than-life displays of feelings, Ravinder Singh pens down his story where he portrays the long lost charm and magic of commitment and love. But, after having experienced the terrible loss of a loved one, is it possible to love someone that deeply and immensely again? Can you bare your soul and let yourself vulnerable in front of someone again, knowing that you are risking yet another terrible heartbreak? Fiction interweaved with non-fiction. Fans of Ravinder Singh's novels have attested that Can Love Happen Twice? can be treated as a sequel to Singh's best-selling I Too Had a Love Story. While listeners came across the passionate and realistic love that Rabin felt for Khushi in I Too Had a Love Storyand eventually dealt with the tragedy of her death, Can Love Happen Twice? portrays how even true love can happen more than once. Ravin meets Simar. He finds that as he gets to know her the pain in his heart decreases and he develops a liking for her; although, Simar is no replacement for Khushi. That's how complicated and grey the area of love is. What's devastating is that he suffers the loss of love yet again, as things don't work out with Simar. Simar leaves him on the same day that he lost Khushi. A book that explores pain and misery and worldly emotions so intensely, is a must-listen for all book-lovers out there.
