Synopsis

"Kitchens, decks, doorways, sidewalks, restaurants, and bars are charged with significance as spaces where characters negotiate relationships and appraise their lives. Mundane objects that carry emotional weight—raincoats, hair ribbons, cups of coffee—bring the stories alive . . . In the short stories of Everything Like Before, loneliness, despair, and longing are described with devastating nuance." —Rebecca Hussey, Foreword Reviews

"Both (Nabaneeta Dev Sen and Nandana Dev Sen's) voices come alive through every lively, loving, celebratory line. An ode to the things that make us human and bind us to one another."—Anna Claire Weber, the Center for the Art of Translation's 

"Her pen unfolds a rare fluidity, an insight into human nature, a gift for satire capped with feather-light touches of humour." -Times of India

"[In her poetry], words are not symbols, not individualised characters, but sentinels that represent hopes, dreams, fears, and inner instincts." -Uma Nair, Times of India

"An extraordinary talent, author, poet, and novelist." -Trisha De Niyogi, Bengaluru Review

"Her spontaneity, unique style of expression, vast and varied experience of life are evident in her poems, short stories, novels, features, and essays. Her wit and humor, sense of detachment together with heart-to-heart sensibility give her writings a personal touch that is hard to ignore." -Indian Library of Congress
