TELLING BENGALI STORIES IN POETIC STYLE

Creative writing gurus say title of a novel of a book always matters to the readers. If a book has an attractive or meaningful title along with good content, the book has all the chance to be gleefully accepted among the audience, the readers as well as critics. Many opine the title tells half the story of a book, even a collection of short stories. Take Jhuma Lahiri’s forst collection of short stories, The Interpreter of Maladies, for example. Lahiri names her work after one of her stories of the book. Did that harm other stories? Have the readers lost interest in reading other stories? Not really. Lahiri got an award for that book.
