  • Though written and published serially during the middle of his writing career around 1943-1944, Manik Bandyopadhyay's Khooni (The Murderer) was discovered much later and published posthumously in book form only in 2013. Like most of his other novels, this short novella deals primarily with the dark alleyways of the human mind of ordinary people. Here we find the psychological ramifications within the mind of the main protagonist Mukunda, who, after murdering his wife Kamini, tries to lead life according to his own terms.
  • Somdatta Mandal is Former Professor of English at Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan, India. A recipient of the Sahitya Akademi award for translation, she has translated from Bengali to English several short stories as well as different kinds of Indian travelogues of men and women during colonial times.
