    • V létě 1988 se mladý Richard Chizmar ocitl uprostřed zlého snu, když sériový vrah – médii přezdívaný „Bubák“ – narušil pokojný život jeho rodného maloměsta. O více než třicet let později je Chizmar úspěšným spisovatelem, manželem a otcem dvou synů. Těší se jisté slávě i proto, že Bubák – který je ve věznici s nejpřísnější ostrahou – je ochoten hovořit jen s ním, se svým rodákem a vrstevníkem. Chizmar se při těchto rozhovorech snaží získat informace o dalších, zatím nepřiznaných a anonymních obětech, a pomoci tak jejich příbuzným uzavřít tragickou kapitolu jejich života. Ovšem když maskovaná postava zanechá u Chizmarova domu hrůzostrašnou navštívenku, spisovatel si uvědomí, že za tanec s ďáblem musí zaplatit. Je zřejmé, že na scéně je nový vrah, obdivovatel Bubáka a také někdo, kdo musí být s tímto sériovým vrahem ve spojení.

    • The prose short story arrived in Bengal in the wake of British colonizers, and Bengali writers quickly made the form their own. By the twentieth century a profusion of literary magazines and journals meant they were being avidly read by millions. Writers responded to this hunger for words with a ferocious energy which reflected the turmoil of their times: these stories covered land wars, famine, the caste system, religious conflict, patriarchy, Partition and the liberation war that saw the emergence of the independent country of Bangladesh. Across these shifting geographical borders, writers also looked inward, evolving new literary styles and stretching the possibilities of social realism, political fiction and intimate domestic tales. A first in English, this anthology gathers together a century's worth of extraordinary stories. From a woman who eats fish in secret to the woes of an ageing local footballer, from the anxieties of a middle-class union rep to a lawyer who stumbles upon a philosopher's stone, this is a collection that celebrates making art of life, in all its difficulty and joy.
