About the Book
About the Author
This book is a collection of interviews of eminent persons (e.g. Sunil Munshi, Samar Sen, Sunil Ganguly, Samaresh Bose, Badal Sarkar, Utpal Dutt, Pratap Chandra Chunder and Sisir Bose) living in Calcutta, recording their perception on Bengali society and culture in the time-honored Bengali tradition of adda (informal conversations). These interviews, were taken in the mid-80s at a time when Calcutta was declared “a dying city”. One of the most vibrant and exasperating cities in the world. Articular.
