Nabarun Bhattacharya (1948–2014) was born into a family of writers, filmmakers, artists and academics. A journalist from 1973 to 1991, he gave up that career in order to become a full-time writer. His best-known works include the novel Harbert (1992). Subha Prasad Sanyal is the winner of the Harvill-Secker Young Translator’s Prize (2018). He is pursuing a degree in English from Jadavpur University, Calcutta.
"Bhattacharya's satire navigates the gaps of time and space to
speak to our present time with wisdom. While these stories are
rooted in the past, they nevertheless successfully critique our
modernity."
*Chicago Review of Books*
“Hawa Hawa and Other Stories is a blistering and unforgiving
portrait of our times. It reminds readers to peer beneath the
surface, even if for a moment. Despite being strongly rooted in the
realities of daily life, the stenches, sounds, and sights of
Calcutta add elements of surrealism to the stories. Hawa Hawa and
Other Stories is a slow, disconcerting read but as long as there is
abuse and misuse of power, station, and wealth, Nabarun
Bhattacharya’s words will live on.”
