Book Description
Paper Boats is a translation Prafulla Roy's epic novel of the Partition, 'Keyapatar Nouko'. It is about the last years of a place called East Bengal, a place some can still remember with nostalgia but which has gone forever. In its last decade, it suffered turbulent and radical change, becoming East Pakistan when India was partitioned. The focus throughout is on a boy, Binay, very closely related to the author himself. His childhood is idyllic, but after a few years change is blown about on the breeze, the sky clouds over with the poison of communal bigotry, and Binay flees to Calcutta to escape almost unimaginable violence and cruelty. Roy's canvas is vast, and he describes the tragedy of the Partition of Bengal from a multitude of personal angles. What starts out as an idyll becomes a drama, and the drama turns into a horror story. ABOUT PRAFULLA ROY Prafulla Roy is one of contemporary Bengal's most prominent - and prolific - writers. His novels and short stories are a treasure house of memories of the Partition and the sad reality of communal violence even after Independence. He has also written profusely on the rural underclass of northeastern India and has produced a significant body of work on the urban middle class, especially of Kolkata.

Book Description
*Winner--First Prize in the Colorado Authors League Award, Science Fiction and Fantasy Category!* The adventures of Li-lin, a Daoist priestess with the unique ability to see the spirit world, continue in the thrilling follow-up to the critically-acclaimed historical urban fantasy The Girl with Ghost Eyes. It’s the end of the Nineteenth Century. San Francisco’s cobblestone streets are haunted, but Chinatown has an unlikely protector in a young Daoist priestess named Li-lin. Using only her martial arts training, spiritual magic, a sword made from peachwood, and the walking, talking spirit of a human eye, Li-lin stands alone to defend her immigrant community from supernatural threats. But when the body of a young girl is brought to the deadhouse Li-lin oversees for a local group of gangsters, she faces her most bewildering—and potentially dangerous—assignment yet. The nine-year-old has died from suffocation . . . specifically by flowers growing out of her nose and mouth. Li-lin suspects Gong Tau, a dirty and primitive form of dark magic. But who is behind the spell, and why, will take her on a perilous journey deep into a dangerous world of ghosts and spirits. With hard historical realism and meticulously researched depictions of Chinese monsters and magic that have never been written about in the English language, The Girl with No Face draws from the action-packed cinema of Hong Kong to create a compelling and unforgettable tale of historical fantasy and Chinese lore.
