About the Authors

Subimal Misra is a Bengali novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He's considered by many to be one of most important, and experimental, Bengali writers of all time. Heavily influenced by Jean-Luc Godard and William S. Burroughs, Subimal Misra uses various cinematic techniques, like montage, jump-cut etc., in his literary works. And Godard mentioned him as the "Godard of literature." The author of more than a dozen books, this is the first collection of his to appear in the United States.
