Existences is Shuvashree Chowdhury’s debut collection of short stories. It is a rendering of a young woman’s insights into human existences from a rich tapestry of social experiences in her own working life. The narratives in each short story are unique in their own way — each form a collage to help see with clarity the simple things that give meaning to our lives. They are as much about women, as they are about people, events and life experiences — all from the perspective of working women. Sensitive, analytical and empathetic in their approach and depiction of the nuances of human emotions — these portrayals do not aim to judge people, rather project them humanely and with an acceptance of the vagaries of human existences.

Reviews
‘A moving and evocative novel that vividly captures our past.’
— TIMERI N MURARI, novelist & playwright, recipient of the R K Narayan Award
‘An urgent tale told with utter vividness. An important addition to the literatures from India’s North-East and Bangladesh.’
— SUDEEP SEN, author of Fractals: New & Selected Poems | Translations: 1980-2015; The HarperCollins Book of English Poetry & EroText
‘The book is unputdownable. How many people can write as powerfully as Shuvashree Chowdhury?’
— PRANAY GUPTE, journalist & author
‘Across Borders holds you with its vivid descriptions and its delineation of characters. Moving across the important decades of our early independence, it tells stark and often poignant stories.’
— RUCHIR JOSHI, writer & columnist, The Telegraph (Kolkata)
‘An engrossing storyteller …. The delineation of characters is superb, so true and real that they come to life. I was able to identify myself with many situations. I finished reading the novel in two straight sittings.’
— P V KRISHNAMOORTHY, (first) Director General, Doordarshan
‘The author has surpassed herself in fleshing out the primary characters. But her strength lies in linguistic flair, especially in descriptive prose. There are myriad evocative turns of phrase throughout the novel, each a delicate brushstroke that adds luminosity to a master canvas. It is in these compelling details that Across Borders stands out as a commendable body of work, its vivid details evocatively blending history with fiction.’
— The Telegraph
