”Shadowland is not only an important historical novel, documenting the corruption, indifference and impunity that defined the final years of communist rule in West Bengal, it is also a significant anthropological document, rich in detail of the economic, religious, familial, political, and social realities of ordinary life on the periphery of post-colonial Kolkata. It is also an entertaining and well-written story of one man's struggle against the absurdities of modern life.” Janam Mukherjee, PhD Anthropology and History, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
