About this book
Discover the untold intersections of history, crime, and ecology in The Pink Headed Duck, an award-winning collection of translated Marathi stories. Blending environmental fiction with pulse-pounding social thrillers and historical mysteries, this compelling volume unpacks the intricate socio-political and economic forces reshaping India’s natural world.
Beyond vital eco-fiction, these narratives plunge into unorthodox realms: the forensic science of fingerprints, rare manuscript forgery, and bibliophile thieves. Travel through forgotten chapters of history—from German nationals interned at Maharashtra’s Purandar Fort during World War II to an imposter channeling legendary singer Balgandharva, alongside the turbulent emergence of green politics.
Penned by Santosh Shintre, a prominent environmental journalist, two-time Maharashtra State Literature Award winner, and recipient of the 2021 Maharashtra Foundation (USA) Award, this book delivers sharp investigative depth and literary suspense. A must-read for lovers of South Asian literature, climate fiction, and investigative historical drama.
