Funeral Nights

Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih

Join a group of friends on an unforgettable journey to witness the ancient and rare six-day-long feast of the dead, Ka Phor Sorat. This unique ceremony, involving the sacrifice of up to fifty bulls, may never be performed again. When the group accidentally arrives seven days early, they spend eleven nights in a secluded jungle, sharing stories and experiences that lead to a journey of self-discovery. Funeral Nights is a collection of captivating stories that blur the borders of reality, providing insights into a tribe's culture and history through an intimate and accessible narrative style.

Confessing a personal weakness for big fat books by authors from my part of the world. Two from last year, aside from the wondrous heartbreak of Tomb of Sand: Khwabnama, by Akhtaruzzaman Elias, translated by @arunava, and Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih's miraculous Funeral Nights.      source
