Short Story
On the Side of the Enemy*
(Translated by Khademul Islam)

"I sold the grain to build the shithouse. Now what do I eat in order to shit?" Laughter spread throughout the whole shop.

Book Review
The past always comes back
"...'We have art,' Nietzsche said, 'so we shall not be destroyed by the truth.' The raw truth of an incident never ends, and the story of Coop and the terrain of my sister's life are endless to me.

Book Review
A 1971 poem
Conversations with Suleman is a long poem, a prose poem, by Afsan Chowdhury about a crippled ex-Mukti Bahini named Suleman.
 
Pain
Salty stream flows
I feel the fall
I taste it...
Then it drops on my breasts
Deepening the pain.
