Lota Kombol

Lota Kombol is Sanjib Chattopadhyay’s bestselling comic novel, the book that made him one of the most loved humour writers in Bengali. The narrator is a young man trying to make a life for himself in a rented room, and his observations on family, neighbours, and his own failures keep the book funny page after page.

If you have not read Sanjib Chattopadhyay before, this is the place to start. Few writers have made readers laugh as often.
