Dashti Upanyas by Sanjib Chattopadhyay [Hardcover]

In contemporary Bengali literature, Sanjib Chattopadhyay is not only popular but also revered as a successful creator of a nearly extinct genre of humor writing. With dynamic prose, he has painted vivid pictures of the times in one novel after another. Sanjib possesses a unique perspective on life. While he is a master of wit, his writing is never merely for humor's sake. Since amusement is not his sole purpose, the humor in his works ultimately leads readers to deep, meaningful destinations. Alongside the candid portrayal of desires lies a soft, indifferent light of detachment. The naked self-mockery of his characters often unveils the masks of many people in contemporary society.

This collection brings together ten of Sanjib Chattopadhyay’s delightful yet profound novels, which are both witty and sharp, humorous yet deep. The ten works—Paira, Cancer, Tritiyo Byakti, Tumi Aar Ami, Bosobash, Achena Akash, Hetmund Urdhapad, Phire Phire Asi, Eke Eke, and Kamini Kanchan—offer readers extraordinary worlds, each with its own unique horizon.
