Rat Bhore brishti

Rat Bhore Brishti is one of Buddhadeb Basu’s adult novels, written in his careful poetic prose. Buddhadeb Basu was a poet, critic, and novelist of the highest seriousness, and books like this one extended Bengali fiction into territory that more conservative writers would not touch in their time.

For mature readers interested in literary Bengali fiction beyond the comfortable middle, this is a serious book worth your time.
