Ebook About The award-winning author Amit Chaudhuri has been widely praised for the beauty and subtle power of his writing and for the ways in which he makes “place” as complex a character as his men and women. Now he brings these gifts to a spellbinding amalgam of memoir, reportage, and history in this intimate, luminous portrait of Calcutta. Chaudhuri guides us through the city where he was born, the home he loved as a child, the setting of his acclaimed novels—a place he now finds captivating for all the ways it has, and, perhaps more powerfully, has not, changed. He shows us a city relatively untouched by the currents of globalization but possessed of a “self-renewing way of seeing, of inhabiting space, of apprehending life.” He takes us along vibrant avenues and derelict alleyways; introduces us to intellectuals, Marxists, members of the declining haute bourgeoisie, street vendors, domestic workers; brings to life the city’s sounds and smells, its architecture, its traditional shops and restaurants, new malls and hotels. And, using the historic elections of 2011 as a fulcrum, Chaudhuri looks back to the nineteenth century, when the city burst with a new vitality, and toward the politics of the present, finding a city “still not recovered from history” yet possessed of a singular modernity. Chaudhuri observes and writes about Calcutta with rare candor and clarity, making graspable the complex, ultimately ineluctable reasons for his passionate attachment to the place and its people.Book Calcutta: Two Years in the City (Vintage Departures) Review :
First of all, Chaudhuri writes fantastically well--great vocabulary, great connections between disparate things, great turn of phrase. Obviously, he's erudite; but, he doesn't push this at you. ( Seems just a natural part of his being.)This memoir is a very personal journey back to Calcutta on Chaudhuri's part. ( Some reviewers have said it's too personal. I don't think so.) You won't find this a "guide" to the city. It's not meant to be. It's a "guide" to the author's heart-- as though you're sitting in the room with him listening to him gently talking. Chaudhuri knows this. We learn about his wife, his parents, his extended family, his childhood haunts, favorite restaurants, favorite semi-crumbling parts of the city. In the course of this, we meet street people, chefs in the burgeoning cafe and business society, even maids and his elderly Father's care giver. He says that Calcutta is about people and shows us this. (Bombay is about money and Delhi is about government, he states.)Yes, we hear of the suffocating humidity and the need to escape it by living in England. And, we get a more clear picture of the author, an only child returning to this heat and rain- to Calcutta- to take care of his Father but only partially so. He's also taking care of himself by reconnecting to his past and sorting out his future in this not quite globalized city. In between his reminiscences of present and past, he makes us miss what we never knew, makes us want to know that whether the life is better now or was it in the past days through his anecdotes of bygone days of the Calcutta. Only the last two chapters ('Study Leave' and 'A Visit') are less engaging and are more like ramblings of an old man. It feels like that they are there for just space occupation, a desperate try to fulfil some pre-set targets.
