Contours

Writer: Krishna Dulal Barua

Publisher: Kailash Kumar Rajkhowa, Krantikal Prakashan, Nagaon Pages: 107 Price: Rs 100

A collection of 18 write-ups, Contours highlights some “topics and personalities, concentrating on the less-emphasised yet significant aspects that have missed adequate exposure”. In the chapter Jyoti Sangeet: The Western Influence the writer says that Jyoti Prasad Agarwala visualised that with the access to western music and its structural elements, a base could be prepared for infusing in freshness and vigour to the existent music. He writes about Ratan Thiyam’s celebrated plays in the chapter The Manipur Trilogy. An effort of making each write-up informative as well as analytical is apparent in his articles.
