Product description
A young widow of a drug overdose victim disappears from Goa.
Three years later, a British National claims to know her whereabouts minutes
before departing for London Heathrow. The Police of two states is pressed into
a joint manhunt. 'They Go to Sleep' is a racy thriller on police procedure and
criminal psychology.
In the year 2043, when nobody sends a letter anymore, an
unlikely candidate decides to write about his springtime memories that are soon
going to be erased. When his identity gets revealed, the impact on several individuals
and the society at large assumes epic proportions. 'A Man of Letters' is a
science fiction with humane emotions at its core.
A promising poet meets his muse on board a train. They share
a captivating conversation but forget to ask each other's name. Will they be
able to meet again in an Indian metro? 'What's In a Name?' is a humorous look
at everything Bengali: gossip, fish, cutlets and the Kolkata Book Fair.
These three stories are joined by nine equally exhilarating
tales of ordinary people and the choices that they make under extraordinary
circumstances. The compilation will surely compel the readers to keep their
midnight lamps burning.
Author Bio
Brought up in the Calcutta of 1980s, Saugata was bitten by
the storytelling bug quite early. Narratives by a retired Royal Air Force pilot
took him through places that today's kids watch on Nat Geo. From exchanging
letters to his school friends from Siliguri to editing their in-house magazines
at University College of Arts and Commerce, University of Calcutta and the 2005
batch of RBI Probationers, his bond with creative writing has only strengthened
in the past three decades. A traveller, conversationist, photography
enthusiast, and a career central banker, Saugata prefers to be called a
storyteller.
