Lapbah: Volume 1: Stories From The North East
Lapbah: Volume 1: Stories From The North-East - Paperback is a sweeping anthology that gathers fifty-seven tales by fifty-two writers from eight North-Eastern states. It stitches together original English stories with deft translations from regional languages, offering a rare, panoramic view of a vibrant literary landscape. Ideal for readers who love bold short fiction, cultural journeys, and voices that cross borders, Lapbah invites curious readers—from seasoned literary explorers to students and fans of regional storytelling—to experience the North-East in all its texture, color, and imagination.
Edited by Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih and Rimi Nath, Lapbah: Volume 1 presents a carefully curated collection that is as diverse as the region itself. The book pairs English-language originals with masterful translations from the region's many languages, bringing together fifty-seven tales that echo the different linguistic, cultural, and ethnic voices of eight states. The experience is a mosaic: stories that range from intimate, heart-wrenching portraits to sharp social satires, to dreamlike fantasies where reality mingles with the surreal.
Readers will notice how the collection unfolds: quick, cinematic pacing in some stories, reflective, lyrical tones in others; a mix of environments—from bustling towns to remote landscapes; and a breadth of styles—from realism to magical realism. Whether you’re drawn to the vivid characters of Indira Goswami or the satirical edge of S.J. Duncan, Lapbah: Volume 1 offers a pathway into communities you may not know but will want to understand more deeply.
