The Greatest Goan Stories Ever Told, selected and edited by Manohar Shetty
The Greatest Goan Stories Ever Told features some of the best short fiction to emerge from writers of Goans living in India and abroad over the last century, in English and translated from the Portuguese, Konkani, and Marathi. The storytellers included range from eminent writers such as Laxmanrao Sardessai and Vimala Devi to contemporary writers like Damodar Mauzo, Ramnath Gajanan Gawade, Jessica Faleiro, and Derek Mascarenhas.
The collected stories cover subjects as wide, diverse, and absorbing – from iron ore mining in Epitácio Pais’s “A Story about Mines”, Pundalik Naik’s “The Palm Tree”, the agrarian village lifestyle in Mahableshwar Sail’s “The Yoke”, and Prakash S Parienkar’s “The Sacrifice”, to diasporic experiences in Selma Carvalho’s “Bed Blocker No 10”, Roanna Gonsalves’s “Curry Muncher”, and patriarchal family structures in Nayana Adarkar’s “The Protector”. Shetty threads these stories together – its varied characters from various communities and religions, its colourful people, and enigma of the state.
