The storytellers included range from eminent writers such as Laxmanrao Sardessai and Vimala Devi to contemporary writers like Damodar Mauzo, Ramnath Gajanan Gawade, Jessica Faleiro, and Derek Mascarenhas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collected stories cover subjects as wide, diverse, and absorbing as the Goan people— from iron ore mining in Epitácio Pais’s ‘\u003cem\u003eA Story about Mines\u003c\/em\u003e’ and Pundalik Naik’s ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Palm Tree’\u003c\/em\u003e and the agrarian village lifestyle in Mahableshwar Sail’s ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Yoke\u003c\/em\u003e’ and Prakash S. Parienkar’s ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Sacrifice\u003c\/em\u003e’, to diasporic experiences in Selma Carvalho’s ‘\u003cem\u003eBed Blocker No. 10’\u003c\/em\u003e and Roanna Gonsalves’s ‘\u003cem\u003eCurry Muncher\u003c\/em\u003e’, and patriarchal family structures in Nayana Adarkar’s ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Protector\u003c\/em\u003e’. Goa threads these stories together—its varied characters from various communities and religions, its colourful people, its Portuguese colonial history, its picturesque landscape, and the general aura surrounding the place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected and edited by Manohar Shetty, the twenty-seven stories in this anthology are proof that there’s more to Goa than hats and sunglasses, printed shirts and shorts, cameras, seafood, and holidaymakers frolicking on its beaches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manohar Shetty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964683546671,"sku":"9789393852120","price":799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9789393852120.jpg?v=1771338417","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/the-greatest-goan-stories-ever-told","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
