CONVERSATION WITH SILENCE

This is a literary diary by famed Indian writer Satish Vimal. It has originally been written in Kashmiri as the first literary diary ever published in Kashmiri. It is the inclusive critical analysis of our dismal literary conditions and the magical rending of the writer's observations made this a popular reading. This is the English translation of the book. Satish Vimal’s diary is an elaborate logical critical analysis of contemporary literature and literary scenario. It is devoid of ambiguities and compromises and these qualities render it to the characteristics of theory in Kashmiri criticism. As such the dairy is to be read, analysed and acted upon for correction of taste and standard in literature. The motive for turning it into English is to widen its reach to varied horizons.
