Bishwanath Ghosh est un écrivain de prose dont les œuvres explorent souvent les intersections complexes du voyage, de l'identité et du lieu. Son écriture plonge dans l'essence des voyages, non seulement comme un mouvement physique, mais comme des voyages de découverte de soi, où les frontières et les distinctions culturelles tissent une riche tapisserie de l'expérience humaine. Ghosh se concentre fréquemment sur le dévoilement des complexités de la vie dans divers environnements, offrant des aperçus sur les villes et leurs habitants avec une observation pointue. Son style littéraire se caractérise par une sensibilité aux détails et une capacité à capturer l'esprit insaisissable des lieux qu'il rencontre.


Bishwanath Ghosh had alighted from his train at Itarsi station to stretch his legs and grab a glass of tea before he resumed his journey.
‘Calcutta was no longer an old piece of furniture in the attic. It was an antique whose value I had realised.’ With these words Bishwanath Ghosh embarks on an exploration of a city that, as a probashi - non-resident Bengali, he has only recently fallen in love with. He probes the lives of its inhabitants - some famous and others faceless - and at the same time strolls along the Hooghly, wanders in and out of Park Street, College Street, Kalighat, Kumartuli, Sonagachhi, even ending up in a dance bar in Salt Lake.With his adventurous spirit and undeniable wit intact, Bishwanath Ghosh pieces together his own unique idea of a unique city.
