Four years in Jail - A collection of short Stories by Rohit Dash  (English, Hardcover, Sukomal Dash)

Four Years in Jail is a powerful and unforgettable collection of 18 short stories originally written in Oriya by acclaimed author Rohit Dash, now beautifully translated into English by Sukomal Dash, a seasoned hand in literary translation. These stories dive deep into the unsettling truths of our time—where human values are eroding, relationships are under strain, and modern life is filled with isolation, injustice, and disillusionment. With sharp realism, they explore the dark corners of corruption, authoritarian rule, fractured families, and the quiet despair of everyday people. Yet, within this darkness, each story shines with a glimmer of light. Whether it’s through unexpected kindness, quiet resilience, or the strength of the human spirit, Four Years in Jail reminds us that hope still survives. These are stories of struggle—but also of redemption, reflection, and the small victories that make life worth living. Rohit Dash captures the complexity of human existence with emotional depth and clarity, while Sukomal Dash brings these narratives to life for a new generation of readers. Gripping, honest, and ultimately uplifting, Four Years in Jail is not just a reflection of our times—it’s a reminder that even in the bleakest moments, change is possible, and the human soul endures.
