A few of them were translated by Manisha Roy from her mother tongue, Bengali. Despite the geographical and other contextual differences, the narrative shifted and at times translated itself as if the author traveled easily between different landscapes-both external and internal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Roy's academic training as a cultural anthropologist and later professional training in Analytical Psychology no doubt left undeniable influence in her wandering in the fascinating world of fictional imagination. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Nearly half of the stories are short-an experiment attempted with the genre of flash fiction.
