CHAOS DANCE IN EBBS AND FLOWS & OTHER SHORT STORIES

All the six short stories give interesting peeks into the complex layered lifeworld of rural Assamese women of various ages classes and contexts. Saikia’s stories are indeed rare honest glimpses of rural Assamese gendered and classist politics in an age when most filmmakers and writers in Assam were painting a rather romantic and ‘simple’ village life. The stories have been consciously and carefully picked out keeping in mind women’s relationship to the world around particularly in rural Assam.
