Anatomy of Silence, by Baby Rani Karmakar, is a courteous exertion of prose writing. It compresses twenty short stories on the struggle of human life, adversities of life, uncertainty, frustration, dilemma, struggle of love and pain, pleasure and sufferings and what not. To pursue the meaning of living, and which not only echoes not only from inside rather can scream out by day to day struggle, is one of the main epiphany of writer's pen in the book.
In search of self, Karmakar has shown her characters in the settings of psychological periphery, which is always connected to their socio- economic condition. From a war zone village of Bangladesh to the busy overseas their humanly crisis is identical.    
Karmakar's most of the stories of this book are written in the year 2007 during her Melbourne University life. And she has ranged time from 1970-2010, and many of them went further. Time has changed, so it's politics, content change of life and struggle are something uncanny for the people surviving in the world. But urge of rebirth midst the pain is the central struggle amidst all. Struggle actually sums up the theme of this book.
The author, a civil servant, a singer and an artist writes on in-depth crisis of emotion in all the twenty stories. From 'War in War' to 'The Moonlit Night' resonances the open-ended question that if by any means the reality is articulated exactly the way it is. And further, what our life cannot express in words are not that those perceivable?
Finally, reader would perceive along with the characters that the day-to-day suffering is something they have to behold and it would assistance to reach the infinity.
With the thought provoking themes, the writer would have been more careful while narrating the each stories in diction and the stories would have flourished.
