Steven Deobald reviewed Romtha by Mahāśvetā Debī
Review of 'Romtha' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
It's hard to believe this is a translation... makes me really sad I can't read it in the original Bengali. It's more of a novel-sized poem. Staggeringly beautiful despite its being a story about a disgusting and inhumane practice. Mahasweta Devi is a real weirdo. I can't wait to find more of her work.
