Read it!
This book wasn't what I thought it would be from reading the back. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, I did. Immensely.
The North East of India has its own brand of writers and literature, a very distinct flavor that is different from mainland India. Different experiences and culture I guess. It's challenging for me to read, but I enjoy it. This book is written from a Naga viewpoint and was an interesting counterpoint from the army book in Mizoram I had mentioned in a recent post.
The stories are very reflective and abstract. They're also quite relatable on a human level and address basic human emotions. I feel that looking back and wondering if you handled a difficult situation in the best way is a very human experience. There's not too much else I can say but this without getting into the individual stories, which I never do in my reviews. Definitely a good read.
Read it!
