Music Box and Moonshine

Music Box and Moonshine is a collection of eighteen short stories from both undivided and partitioned Bengal. Translator, Partha Banerjee, takes pride in his dexterity in the two languages: he believes his long immigrant life in America preceded by a Bengali-medium schooling in Kolkata, and his profession as a human rights activist and educator working with ordinary Americans made him skillful in mastering them. The stories he chose for this collection transcend a century – from Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Rabindranath Tagore, and Bibhuti Bhushan Bandyopadhyay’s classic literature to a modernist period’s Syed Mujtaba Ali, Leela Majumdar, and Parashuram to a post-modernist Narendra Nath Mitra and Sunil Ganguly, and such literary giants. He believes a vast audience – both young and old generations willing to admire the treasures of Bengali literature – would embrace the translated gems.
