Mapmaking, Partition Stories from 2 Bengals

Readers generally praise the selection of stories in this collection, with particular favorites including "Sadak- The Road" and "The Ballad of Sonadas Baul." The book's structural presentation is also a strong point, as reviewers appreciate the clear partitioning of stories, the inclusion of original titles in English, and the recognition given to the translators. The overall positive reception suggests a strong desire for more works by the author, Ritwik Gadak.

It is recommended for those who appreciate thoughtfully curated anthologies and enjoy discovering engaging short stories. This book would particularly appeal to readers interested in the works of Ritwik Gadak, offering a compelling introduction or a welcome addition to their existing collection by the author.
