Sen
This is debut novel of Bikramjit Sen, A 21-year-old lad
who has envied the rich values and cultural heritage of the city of joy Kolkata.
His narration of stories is simple yet leaves a profound impact on the readers.
The book comprises of 23 stories all vivid in nature scope and yet eloquent. They
all belong to different genre and vastly covers different phases of character
and life in general. Bikram’s storytelling leaves you in awe as some stories
are humorous while some will grip you with grief and pain. The stories deal
with philosophical mythological religious and few representing different personalities.
His style of storytelling is supple and reminds you of folklore being told by
grandparents. The language is simple yet eloquent, the anecdote leaves you wondering
and pondering. These are small stories yet vastly any one of them could have
been a full-blown story with standalone story as the characterization is strong
and the storyline being rich. His influence of childhood regional tale and
inquisitiveness can be seen oozing out from the stories. The essence of his thoughts
can be identified by various dream narratives he has penned down as stories. His
stories profoundly acknowledge the power of supreme, supernatural and one’s
inner self and he has beautifully managed to craft stories out of such fragile
topics.
Unleash, Raghu and his laptop are my favorite from the
lot as both the story are some what similar yet there ends are opposite.
Great storytelling
Amazing cover
