Thank you for providing me with ARC of Panorama and my apologies for being so late! But how can you finish reading a book when you belong to a family of bookworms who are always busy with the same book? Even my 12-year-old cousin heard most of the stories from my aunt. I proudly belong to a family of Bibliophiles and I must say, Shilpi Chaklanobis is the new happening thing of the writing Industries. For years, writing industry has been ruled my women. Ashapurna Devi, Mahasweta Devi, Jhumpa Lahiri, Arundhati Roy. Isn't it weird that all these women are from Bengal? The land of rich literary culture when Tagore himself lived? Bengali literature stands as an important section of Indian Literature. A major chunk of Bengali population still prefers the rich regional literature relevant to their society, in comparison to the foreign literatures. And looks like, another production is in the making from a bengali woman.
The short stories of Panorama have left me and they have left me some characters that will never die and I will cherish these stories now and then. I wish I had an hardcover because after so much of reading the book literally is in torn state. The tale about the peasants of the society who work day and night and yet have no happiness in their life. The only thing they all yearn for, a partner, a child. The love of a young girl for her pet as they run into the streets of Kolkata. A sweet tale about a father who is jealous of the mother and takes a bad step to win a greater part of his daughter's heart. These, and a lot more, in store for you in the pages of the book, Panorama. Get your copy as soon as you can!
