Book Description

"The Sentient God" is a collection of award-winning Odia short stories written by Santanu Kumar Acharya. The book includes 11 stories that are rooted in folklore and myth and cover a range of genres, including fantasy, humor, horror, crime, and romance. The stories are set in villages, small towns, and cities, and will entertain and lighten the mood while also prompting readers to reflect on deep questions about life. In this book, Acharya experiments with the occult and theoretical postulations in stories like "The Sentient God," "The Witness Tree," "The Dream" and "A Moonlit Night on the College Campus." He was an idealist in his life and never compromised with the establishment, and this is reflected in other stories like "Glasnost," "A Telephone Call," and "August 15," which intend to expose the flaws of the political and bureaucratic system of the present time. Overall, "The Sentient God" cements Acharya's reputation as one of the decade's most inventive and successful Odia short story writers. As all great stories do, these stories have the power to make readers see the world differently.
