BTW, I am trying to revive the thread, thanks to the prodding of you guys....though I do not promise anything
Actually, the pressures in the professional sphere have increased manifold during the lockdown. The main problem, of course, is my being such a slowcoach
Yes I do. I have read all other Moti Nandy books which are so relevant till date, Stopper, Striker, Buro Ghora, Tulsi, Minu Chinu r trophy, Kalabatir dekhasona, everything. My reading list is quite long, Tintin to Tolstoy and Garia Marquez to Sharadindu to Pamuk. Hemingway to Tarashankar. Now reading Noah Harari and going through once again Boria Majumder's Goalless to gather enough information before try something.
My personal favourite (among Moti Nandi's books) is Naran. I found myself weeping at certain points in the story, particular at the point when Tolubabu, his colleague passes away and Naran reminisces about him, on the journey back in the train with his wife.
On a different note, have you read Tolstoy's Resurrection? Though Anna Karenina is nowadays considered his greatest novel, I have always been in awe of this book...it has been almost a life-changer for me.
