Strange Case of Billy Biswas
"A novel of compelling quality in which the normal and the abnormal, the ordinary and the extraordinary, illusion and reality, resignation and desire, rub shoulders.
Somewhat like Huxley\'s Savage, the hero, Billy Biswas, is a misfit in modern milieu of technological jungle and seeks an escape...Characterised by a moving story telling elan, the narrative unfolds in quick succession, the different stages of development of Billy\'s nature. Influenced by Joseph Conrad, the author has drawn minute dilineation of a character who is both a human in flesh and blood, and a symbol of the restless human spirit."
