The
unveiling of book “Mirror in the Hall” written by Prakash Bal Joshi will be
held on the 12th of July 2019 at 5 pm. at Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh.
Renowned author Vasant Abaji Dahake, guest of honour Arjun Dangle and poet
Ranjit Hoskote will be guest of honour and chief guest respectively. This award
winning Marathi book is translated into English by Smita Karandikar. Ratna
Books editor Dinesh Sinha and adviser Sridhar Balan will grace the occasion. The
award winning book, “Prakash Bal Joshi yanchya katha” is being translated into
Hindi, Gujarati, French and Malayalam. This collection of fifteen short stories
by Prakash Bal Joshi explores contemporary themes revolving around strained
relationships, changing values and women empowerment among middle-class people
in both rural and urban settings.
What
makes these narratives remarkably distinct is the sensitive, at times
disturbing yet humane, portrayal of the characters, each going through his/her
unique set of trials and tribulations in life without any value judgement by
the author, leaving the readers to contemplate and draw their own
interpretations. Each story has a sketch by the author which depicts his
visualization– restless, illusionary, incomprehensible – lending a rather
mysterious touch to his narratives. As a renowned artist he has participated in
several international and national art events and biennales in Europe, USA, and
other art hubs.
