Book excerpt: Relationships require compromise—but just how much compromise is too much? When the choice boils down to the relationship with another and the relationship with oneself, which is more important? And when the relationship with oneself seems damaged beyond all repair, how can a person ever find happiness? This is the story of a man and a woman living in early-1900's America, and their journey through the explosive emotions of a love affair and its consequences, her betrayal to herself and those she loves, and his painful love affair with his own self-destruction. Watch as they each struggle to release the expectations of youth, and embrace their individual purposes on earth. Join them as they discover the compromises that add to the fuel of self-hatred, which ones lead to the light of love, and the ones that result in the quiet despair of life unlived.

Download or read book The Bird Catcher and Other Stories written by Fayeza Hasanat and published by Jaded Ibis Press, LLC. This book was released on 2018 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in Bangladesh and the United States, the eight stories in The Bird Catcher address gender expectations, familial love, and questions of identity and belonging. In "The Anomalous Wife," when Nirjhara decides she wants to walk into the ocean, her husband of thirty years is confused: she has the perfect life, he insists, the life of a dutiful housewife and mother who wants for nothing in her adopted country. The staff at the psychiatric facility can't even pronounce Nirjhara's name, let alone understand her mordant humor and her use of wide-ranging literary references (from Rabindranath Tagore to Sylvia Plath to The Ancient Mariner) to describe her despair. The other stories are equally resonant and thought-provoking. A college professor has to contend with a student who "laughed every time I struggled on a word that didn't want to come out of my forked tongue: one part third world, one part hyphenated American." A young woman enjoys a loving but complicated relationship with her mother-in-law, a Bangladeshi immigrant who is both ebullient and opinionated, charming and exasperating. In the title story, drawing on fairy tale motifs, string theory, Sufi philosphy, and other traditions, a bird and a recluse argue over the nature of time and the meaning of freedom. The Bird Catcher offers wide-ranging variations on the theme of diasporic identity, intriguing glimpses into suppressed, fragmented, and resilient lives, and a meditation on the power and limitations of language. As Nirjhara explains in "The Anomalous Wife," "Life is all about right word choices, right verbs, and right prepositions. If you walk by the ocean, you are a lover of life. If you walk into it out of your love for the ocean, you are kept here as a prisoner until you learn the correct use of prepositions."
