Reading Easterine Kire’s Son of the Thundercloud
Son of the Thundercloud. Easterine Kire. New Delhi: Speaking Tiger Books, 2016.
Easterine Kire’s latest novella, Son of the Thundercloud, is a fascinating narrative in the mould of low fantasy. In blending Naga myth of creation with the redemption story of Christ, Kire inaugurates the beginning of a new era of literary experimentation in Naga literature in English.
