Saras Galpa by Bimal Kar [Hardcover]

Not satire, not sarcasm, not irony, and no sudden shift to a serious tone - Saras Golpa by Bimal Kar is the best example of how pure, unadulterated humorous stories can be so successful and engaging. Many of Bimal Kar’s popular tales, as one of the leading storytellers of the era, have moved from the pages of books to be repeatedly adapted into various scenes and audio formats. Many of them are uproariously funny. Among these memorable tales are Kalidas and Chemistry, Basantbilaap, Briddhasya Bharya, and Char Taas, all lively stories brimming with humor. This exceptional collection of humorous stories has now been published in an expanded edition, featuring a fresh batch of equally amusing tales. It is not just a book, but a bomb of laughter that will explode with ho-ho sounds, not once, but repeatedly.

The same writer whose pen can dive deeply into the human soul, like a diver exploring the depths, also brings forth a continuous stream of pure comedy with such vividness in these stories that it would be hard to believe without reading them.
