A Nowhere Man - fault lines of love

By: Sudipto Chattopadhyay

Sudipto’s people pull me like string magnets. Difficult to stop reading” - Ujjal Chakraborty, Eminent novelist, and National Awardee film scholar. "Captures an artist’s deepest longings, restlessness, loss, void and confusion. The surreal and the real merge to create a certain delicious madness. The narrative is gorgeous, deeply moving, lyrical and hilarious” - Brahmanand Singh, National awardee and a leading writer. Conventionally, a first novel often suffers the contradictions inherent in sentimentality and piety. It is also branded with the blemish of autobiography. A first-time novelist is eager to pour out his heart and hence his work becomes baroque in its excesses. The author of A Nowhere Man realizes and relishes all that. He is, by your leave, the quintessential zealot, exploring a narrative and expounding a thesis at the same time. What emerges is a work that is comic, sentimental, and macabre. The novel is an irreverent exercise at madness and mindless mayhem within the confines of a racy narrative exterior. There is both conceit and humility, garbed in the guise of Avant-Garde adventure. On the one hand, it tells the simple story of those who loved, made love, lost or won, on the other, it aspires to be a pious elegy of suffering in transit.

The Day I Stopped Lying

Musings & Monologues

By: Sudipto Chattopadhyay

This book is an anthology of essays, poems and one play by Chattopadhyay culled over a decade of writing. It delves into popular culture, literature, language, society, cinema, spirituality and matters of faith. It presents an alternate view on contemporary life and customs seen through the prism of his personal experience. The essential spirit is one of enquiry, and it deliberately steers clear of dogma. The text makes pertinent observations based on experience, study and interpretation of phenomena but does not propound any absolute theory. It is an informed Indian’s point of view in 2019. The book is reader-friendly with dollops of humor. Yet the discerning reader can also find insights from the subtly layered subtexts that propound the subaltern thought, albeit in a curious way. This book is essentially about myriad Indian thoughts, the mosaic of a complex civilization and an equally complex thought, constantly insightful and often bathetic and self-deprecatory. The nebula of Sudipto’s The Day I Stopped Lying is immense and immeasurable, forever expanding its arms in all directions… - Brahmanand S Siingh, National Award-winning filmmaker, author and speaker, based out of Mumbai. I’ve always wanted him to go, beyond movies into the world of literature because that where he truly belongs. I am so glad and proud that he has finally taken the plunge with his outstanding debut. - Sanjay Gupta, the veteran film-maker with superhits like Kaante, Zinda, Musafir and Kaabil to his credit

The Colonial Staged

Theatre in Colonial Calcutta

By: Sudipto Chatterjee

From the late eighteenth century, Calcutta, first city of the British Empire, has been a hub of intersecting ideas and movements of change. Nowhere did the restless currents of history play themselves out more graphically than in the composite art of theatre and performance. This pioneering study of the history of Bengali theatre looks at the plays mounted in the city in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and their reception. It goes on to study the cultural efflorescence known as the 'Bengal Renaissance' and the subsequent politicization of a theatre imbued with ideas of nationalism and social reform, with a particular focus on the complex and problematic issue of the place of women in theatre.
