Galpa Holeo Parto by Manas Dey [Hardcover]

Almost every event that happens in this world today is recorded in some way, accumulating mountains of data. But human memory is limited. As a result, the oral history that is passed down from generation to generation contains only those events that changed the course of human civilization. Few events have occurred in the last hundred years that have made a permanent place in the spoken history of the world. One such incident happened in 2020-21; Corona virus infection around the world. Humanity's march to victory was halted momentarily by a virus. At that time, people were forced to redefine their needs, needs, merits, undeservedness, trust, distrust. Spanning from Wuhan to Kolkata to California, the novel is an epitome of the Covid-19 era where deeply personal emotions of love, friendship, responsibility and sexuality revolve around the context of immigration and the global slum.
