{"product_id":"entering-the-maze-queer-fiction-of-krishnagopal-mallick","title":"Entering the Maze: Queer Fiction of Krishnagopal Mallick","description":"\u003cp\u003eKrishnagopal Mallick is a literary rarity: sub-editing for an English daily, giving it up to print and publish Bengali little magazines at a press set up at his own home, and then producing essays, short stories, travelogues, memoirs, and novels marked by a dazzling candour and a beguiling lucidity. His words transport us to a North Kolkata of trams, lanes and by-lanes. His unselfconscious prose pulls us into a life lived with honesty and joy. Rarely has Bengali literature witnessed such clear-eyed narratives of public and private violence, sexuality, and humour. These translations introduce to the readers a craftsman of deadpan story-telling who infuses North Kolkata with a queer radiance unmatched in Indian writing. Once one enters the maze of Krishnagopal Mallick, one cannot emerge unmoved, unchanged, unaffected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niyogi Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52207253881134,"sku":null,"price":332.5,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/9320\/6574\/files\/91TEMuTfApL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781638820","url":"https:\/\/bookalley.in\/products\/entering-the-maze-queer-fiction-of-krishnagopal-mallick","provider":"Bookalley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
