"Subimal Misra - anarchist, activist, anti-establishment, experimental 'anti-writer' - was a literary genius, and among India's greatest contemporary masters. Misra's works are confrontational, and challenge and provoke readers morally, politically, and in their expectations of literature. The Earth Quakes: Late Anti-Stories brings together his final creations: twenty stories written between 1991 and 2010, their subjects ranging from the 'global' - the Gulf War of 1991, which heralded the post-Cold War unipolar world - to the very 'local' - the Singur movement of 2006 that led to the unseating of the all-powerful CPI (M), which had ruled the state of West Bengal since 1977. As unique and unprecedented as each of the earlier volumes, The Earth Quakes is a fitting finale to the groundbreaking Subimal Misra translation project undertaken by translator-activist extraordinaire V. Ramaswamy." - Publisher.
