Sandipan Chattopadhyay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandipan Chattopadhyay is one of the stalwarts of new age Bengali literature and arguably the best among the group of the writers that ruled Bengali literature for last 50 years. His unique style and scarcity and astute sense of humor is unmatched in Bengali literature. In 1961 he wrote the book "Kritadas Kritadasi" it changed the landscape of Bengali fiction and created a niche for himself. A staunch anti-establishment image and supporter of creative freedom, he has always refused to became a part of any big publishing house, which some of his other contemporaries have happily accepted but Sandipan always stick to his own.
His most harsh critic will accept the fact that Sandipan never got the publicity or honor that he deserves, he was awarded the Sahitya Academi Award for his book 'Ami O Banabihari'. It was too little and too late. He died after a prolonged respiratory ailments in December of 2005.
Some of his books Cholerar Dingulite Prem', 'Shaper Chocker Bhitor Diye', Kukur Samparke Duto Ekta Katha Ja Ami Jani', 'Seishab Dinratri', 'Hiroshima, My Love', 'Astitva Atithi Tumi' and 'Esho Nipabane. This list may have errors and written from my memory.
