THE GREATEST ODIA STORIES EVER TOLD by Leelawati MohapatraMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The collection is lovingly translated by three authors. They set the tone with a chatty introduction and then carry on with accurately rendered translations of each story. Stories that are funny, sad, mystical, poignant, inspiring – in short, stories displaying the full gamut of the human condition. Mostly located in the rural setting, some encompass the urban milieu also.
The book is part of a big anthology of regional Indian languages, each book is a gem and worthy of inclusion in every Indian’s bookshelf.
