The Brave New World of Goan Writing & Art 2020

Description

So, where do we retain parts of our sacred selves? In our skins, our religions, or our high cultures? Maybe there is no such mythical place of retention. Maybe we are above all just individuals with disparate stories, capable of dissolving and reconstituting, leaving homelands and finding new ones, setting sail from safe harbours and embracing unknown futures. And yet, are we really anything other than the sum total of our shared historical past? Can we ever deny that collective euphoria which transcends distance and binds us together in a primordial understanding of oneness? – Selma Carvalho, editor The Brave New World of Goan Writing & Art 2020 is a collection of short fiction, poetry, memoir, travelogue, essay, reviews and interviews by contemporary Goan writers and artists, derived from the João Roque Literary Journal.
