He Takes Us To The Eccentric Paras (Neighbourhoods) And Clubs Of The North And The South; Past Buildings Crumbling Silently Into Spectacular Ruins; Deep Inside Park Streets Iconic Restaurants And Watering Holes; Through Roads Choked By Political Rallies; To Rundown Cinema Halls Haunted By Lonely Men; And Into The Lairs Of Soothsayers And Tantric Love Gurus.

Both Intimate And Provocative, It Shines New Light On A Great And Fascinating City. As Someone Whose Formative Years Were Spent In Kolkata, I Read Indrajit Hazras Book With Keen Interestand Delight. He Conveys His Deep Knowledge Of Kolkatas History And Culture With Style And Wit, Deftly Capturing The Citys Glories And Disenchantments, Its Ironies And Its Anxieties. The Personal And The Political Are Beautifully Blended. I Thought I Knew Kolkata Very Wellnow, After Reading Hazra, I Shall Visit It Afresh With New Eyes, And Greater Understanding. Ramachandra Guha
