Description

Paper Boats is a translation Prafulla Roy's epic novel of the Partition, 'Keyapatar Nouko'. It is about the last years of a place called East Bengal, a place some can still remember with nostalgia but which has gone forever. In its last decade, it suffered turbulent and radical change, becoming East Pakistan when India was partitioned. The focus throughout is on a boy, Binay, very closely related to the author himself. His childhood is idyllic, but after a few years change is blown about on the breeze, the sky clouds over with the poison of communal bigotry, and Binay flees to Calcutta to escape almost unimaginable violence and cruelty. Roy's canvas is vast, and he describes the tragedy of the Partition of Bengal from a multitude of personal angles. What starts out as an idyll becomes a drama, and the drama turns into a horror story. ABOUT PRAFULLA ROY Prafulla Roy is one of contemporary Bengal's most prominent - and prolific - writers. His novels and short stories are a treasure house of memories of the Partition and the sad reality of communal violence even after Independence. He has also written profusely on the rural underclass of northeastern India and has produced a significant body of work on the urban middle class, especially of Kolkata.
