In his prose writings-fearless, provocative and startlingly original, much like his poetry-Nirala regards the world with the eyes of a compulsive satirist, committed to laying bare its hypocrisies. A Portrait of Love is an ode to Niralas genius, drawing attention to his long-ignored legacy in prose. From his poignant yet humorous sketch of rural India in Billesur Bakriha to the sophisticated urbanity of Lucknow in Portrait of a Lady-Love; from questioning the ideals of marriage and love in Sukuls Wife to celebrating the nexus between writers and courtesans in colonial Calcutta in What I Saw; from hailing agency among the oppressed castes in Chaturi Chamar to shining a light on an uneasy relationship between education and progress in Jyotirmayee-this collection sparkles with wit, atmosphere and an unmistakable autobiographical streak, taking readers to the heart of India and introducing them to the colourful cosmos of Hindi literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51664198140192,"sku":"NEW0143466372","price":15.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61jRSgynbcL.jpg?v=1778881495","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-portrait-of-love-six-stories-one-novella-0143466372","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
