Kuntal had hoped that, having assumed a responsible position in a literary organization, she would strive to make literature the torch of society. She would do something that would make every corner of that middle-class city vibrate with the touch of literature. Young talents would find the sky they rightfully deserve, and humanity the vision that makes even this tiny world of humans worth living. But she didnt even realize it, and she was subjected to countless arrows, accusations, and questions. Her dreaming, even as a woman, became her crime. The literary world, entangled with the most vile political tactics, suddenly felt like a dark prison to her. Sitting alone, she would only contemplate how, when, and why the words that were supposed to express the anguish of creation and unravel the complexities of humanity had become a plaything in the cunning hands of narrow self-interest. Grappling with these questions, Maitreyi Pushpas novel lifts the veil on those corners of the world of literature and culture where the jugglery of words is revealed at its worst, and where a spirited, visionary woman struggles, one after another, against a reality that has been fabricated by advocates of justice through their shallow self-interest. Written with refined language and concentrated female experience, this novel is a comprehensive story of women fighting against the literary society of our times, political confusion, and masculine dominance everywhere.
