{"product_id":"9789351772170","title":"Day of Reckoning: Stories","description":"Even before Indian writing in English became the fashionable thing it is today, Nayantara Sahgal was a name to reckon with internationally. In Day of Reckoning: Stories, her first collection of short stories, one finds a familiar engagement with society, human rights and politics, and a Sahgalesque subversive take on tradition.     A foreign journalist tries to make sense of a rapidly changing India even as a leading political leader is assassinated in public; a Naxalite who believes in scientific killing of the class enemy and the cult of violence is shattered when it boomerangs on him; a favourite aunt assigned the task of getting her young nephew back to India from London for an arranged marriage finds more than she had bargained for.    This is a thought-provoking, yet disturbing collection of stories from a master storyteller. Brimming with rare insights on the human condition and informed by the changing political and cultural ambience of the nation, Day of Reckoning is a must-have addition to every library.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184918315248,"sku":"9789351772170","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789351772170_p0.jpg?v=1765234227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789351772170","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
