Calcutta
two years in the city
by Amit ChaudhuriAmit C.
has written a number of fictional books but this is more of a memoir and tells about two years of his life in Calcutta.
This is the city he was born in, the home he loved as a child, the setting of his previous novels and now a part of his present.
... this isn't it.
Calcutta is a city that brings to mind images of severe poverty and hordes sleeping on street pavements at night. This book offers more nuanced and lyrical sensibilities.
My views of Calcutta have been shaped by books by visitors rather than people who were born there. They have also been shaped by books about people helping those in need, like Mother Teresa.
