Preeti Thakur’s Gonu Jha and Other Maithili Picture Stories

Detailed description

Verma connects her appreciation of Preeti Thakur’s picture stories with a wider concern about women’s exclusion from literary criticism. She values the book’s compression of remembered folk narratives into an accessible visual form and suggests extending this work to legends of the Kosi. The piece is an appreciative response and a proposal for future storytelling.

This is a signed contribution in the volume’s Preeti Thakur and her creative/archival work strand. The page preserves the contributor’s attribution, the normalized chapter identity, the English-edition locator, and the paired Maithili/English repository manifestations so that the critical argument can be read in its book context rather than as an isolated quotation.
