North-east has spawned several writers in various genres. Jim Wungramyao Kasom is the latest addition in the list and he is the first English fiction writer from Manipur’s Ukhrul district.
His first ever book ‘Homecoming’ is a collection of nineteen short stories. This book was recently launched in New Delhi.
Jim told ANI, “I grew up in a small village and here, we have a very close-knit community. Certainly, we emphasized a lot on storytelling. And that practice of storytelling has inspired me to write the stories that are collected in this book.”
