This is a one-of-its-kind book that makes the reader reconsider history from the perspective of a place or a monument, instead of the epochs around an individual or an event. The book ‘A Biker’s Pilgrimage’ focuses on eight important ancient places in North India which faced destruction at the hands of conquerors and invaders. The lustre of these places as important centres of religion, learning, art and architecture attracted not only those who helped them flourish but also those who destroyed them. The book spotlights these unfortunate places and the distressing tale of their demise.

In this collection, Mitra Phukan sounds the rhythms of contemporary Assamese society, deftly weaving universal themes of love, loss and ageing with some of the issues facing the region: militancy, witchcraft, and the breakdown of traditional ways of life. Her stories acutely depict people’s struggles to relate to each other across vast social gulfs and within the intricacies of family and love. Intimate, allusive, and wryly observed, ‘A Full Night’s Thievery’ is a finely drawn portrait of humanity by one of the most prominent literary voices in Assam today.
