SHILLONG:

Shillong-based writer Naphirisa Kordor Tariang released three books – The Canvas of Time, The Ink Spilled Pages and Tug of Words – at the Khasi National Dorbar Hall in Mawkhar, on February 14.

Tariang’s translation work of Anne Jones, a historical novel by her father Dr B.P.S Toi, was also released today.

RV Suchiang, chief secretary to the government of Meghalaya attended the programme as the chief guest.

According to Naphirisa, these books throw light on her unwavering desire and the compelling need to give expression to her grains of thoughts, ideas and perspectives through words.

The author had immersed into the literary terrain since the age of eighteen when she had published her first book of poetry, The Vision Dancing In My Mind’s Eye and The Engaging Allure of Meghalaya when she was nineteen. She had also published her debut novel The North Star at the age of twenty.
