Sreetanwi Chakraborty’s first Bengali short story collection to be released

Penprints Publication is proud to announce the forthcoming release of Sreetanwi Chakraborty’s first Bengali short story collection. This anthology brings together a diverse range of stories written across different moments in time, weaving themes of love and separation, the impact of technology, human emotions, and the intricate dynamics of social relationships.

Each story in (Raahi) resonates with the emotions, conflicts, and explorations of its era—inviting readers to moments of deep introspection while also reflecting on the evolving face of society. Through small everyday moments and the struggles of a technology-driven age, the collection emerges as a multifaceted portrayal of contemporary life.

A special note of gratitude goes to Rituparna Khatua, whose hand-painted cover artwork gives the book its unique soul. The author insists that this book could only come into being with her artistic vision. Thanks are also extended to Nabamalatidi, who first encouraged the idea of bringing these stories together into a single volume, as well as to family and mentors whose love and guidance continue to inspire the author’s journey.

As Chakraborty herself affirms, her deepest love and gratitude belong to Sreetanwi , whose presence makes writing—and life itself—possible.

This upcoming collection (Raahi) promises to touch the hearts of readers, offering them stories that are at once personal, socially relevant, and timeless.
