Description
Two volumes dedicated to the Goan short story in Portuguese, woven together painstakingly and creatively by Dr Paul Melo e Castro of the University of Leeds. His aim here is to produce “a representative mapping out of the range of authors, styles, positions and themes” found within this body of writing.
In these stories, which span roughly from 1864 to 1987, a variety of positions can be discerned towards Portuguese colonialism and the wider Indian nation, towards issues of family, caste, society, religion and language. While all these issues are both familiar today and the staples of contemporary Goan writing in various languages, the stories presented here do present some of their own peculiarities.
