Someone once said that Samresh Basu was the "Prince of Bengali literature." Critics might consider this statement an exaggeration, but can it be denied that he was a colossal talent in literature, like a mighty tree? With a spirit of struggle to turn adversity into opportunity, he rose from humble beginnings to the heights of fame and recognition. Just as his literature flowed and changed with time, taking different turns like a river, his life also moved forward in a similarly varied and colorful path, spreading the hues of life.
He had no intense moral or idealistic pretensions about life. In his way of living, in his approach to survival, he was entirely unique. Life and literature became one for him, and that is why there was no deception in his creations. He himself wrote, "The responsibility of literature lies with life itself. Life is greater than literature; a writer doesn’t need deep practice to understand this truth, for it is always very much alive." Flesh-and-blood men and women, in all their earthy reality, came into the tug of war of his literature. He never excluded anyone, never turned anyone away. He believed in exploring the depths of human nature through physical relationships. As a result, there was always the possibility of him being misunderstood.
Samresh believed that to truly capture life, one couldn’t just be an artist of life; one had to be a hunter of life as well. This seemed to be the essence of who he was. A life artist and life hunter, Samresh's literary journey began with "Noyonpurer Mati" (Soil of Noyonpur), though his first published novel was "Uttorang".
