About the Book:
"Jamini Kolkata Songlap" by Sanjoy Ghosh is a life-centered novel inspired by the life of renowned artist Jamini Roy. The narrative takes an imaginative approach, presenting a candid and symbolic dialogue between the artist and the city of Kolkata. While Jamini Roy’s paintings are widely admired, this novel shifts focus to the lesser-explored dimensions of his life—his struggles, transformations, and inner conflicts.

Drawing from the curiosity once expressed by literary figures like Buddhadeb Basu, the novel attempts to uncover the light and shadow, rise and fall, and the dualities that shaped the artist’s journey. Through this creative exploration, the book offers a deeper understanding of both the man and the city that influenced his art, blending biography with fiction in a compelling narrative form.
