“The
most enduring images in Killing
Days are Joya [Mitra]’s portrayal
of fellow prisoners she meets between 1970-74
in various jails in West Bengal…[She]
writes as a witness, an observer and an insider…[Her]
observations…are of restrained passion,
almost dispassionate at times. The subtlety
makes the reading more chilling, leaving the
reader gasping at the sheer intensity of the
feelings. It’s to the credit of the
publishers that they have translated Joya’s
book so lucidly for a larger audience.”
