A Game of Chess Classic Assamese Stories

From the sensitive portrayal of a father's relationship with his daughter of marriageable age in Bhabhendranth Saikia's 'Bats' to the woman-centric 'A Nymph of the Desert' by Arupa Patangia Kalita; from Apurba Sarma's story of the legendary king Vikaramaditya and Monica, a modern, trophy wife to 'Cavern', an unusual story of a heart transplant; from 'The Journey', Indira Goswami's deeply moving story of terrorism to the deliciously naughty 'Parable of an Ancient Triangle' by Moushumi Kandali, A Game of Chess brings together stories which, with their simplicity and wide variety of themes, bring out the most poignant aspects of life in its myriad forms. Superbly translated and carefully selected, A Game of Chess is a remarkable collection of new as well as established writers. He has been the President of the North East Writers' Forum, since its inception in 1997.
