To Hell With You, Mitro

 
Krishna Sobti (Author)
Synopsis

"Good language is not just... knowing that a word exists. You cannot even establish a word or install it unless you are aware of its shape, colour, as also the country of its origin and use. A good writer... assimilates words n their entirety -their sounds, rhythm, their capacity to hold meaning their subtlety and their linguistic tangibility... If you don't live a language and have no feelings for the words, you cannot, at the level of style alone, weave them into the fabric of your creativity... An exhibition of words, without an avowed intent or aesthetic sense, is meaningless".

About the author

Krishna Sobti

Writer par excellence, Krishna Sobti's contribution to Indian literature crosses the boundaries of culture. Her innovative use of language and technique and refreshing delineation of strong women characters opened new vistas in Hindi literature. Her writings revolve around Partition, upheaval and turmoil in Indian society, man-woman relationship, feudalism and dissolution of human values. Her works have been translated into Indian and foreign languages. She has received the Sahitya Akademi Award for her magnum opus, Zindaginama, the first woman writer to receive the award for Hindi. The first Katha Chudamani Award was conferred on her, in 1999, for Lifetime Literary Achievement. She is also the recipient of a number of other literary awards, besides a number of Fellowships.
