For Now It Is Night: Kaul s Stories Help Recover A Nuanced, Multifaceted History - Kashmir Times (Since 1954): Multi-media web news platform kashmirtimes.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from kashmirtimes.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
This month Archipelago Books publishes a collection of stories, For Now, It is Night, from Kashmiri writer Hari Krishna Kaul. Each story in the collection is punctuated with details of Kashmiri Hindu life. The sensations of reading Kaul are akin to those felt when watching the masters of slow-paced cinema, like Bresson or Bela Tarr. As in a Tarr film, the point is not to extrapolate a larger meaning from a roadside encounter or a simple transaction; the point is to immerse oneself in the details of ordinary life and the texture of a moment.
