The Faded Rainbow is the English translation of Gourahari Das’s novel Chhayasoudhara Abasesha. The Odia novel, published in 1996, was the writer’s maiden attempt at the genre. The Faded Rainbow offers multiple interpretations to the readers. It is no doubt a study in feminism. It can also be interpreted as a quest for self by its female protagonist, Minu. Her attempts to lend meaning to her otherwise frustrated, meaningless and gloomy existence can be another way of looking at it.
