TRUTH DIGGER THE BEST OF SHOVON CHOWDHURY (PB)

?The very best work of the acclaimed humorist
Shovon Chowdhury The author of the critically acclaimed dystopian novels The
Competent Authority and Murder with Bengali Characteristics, Shovon Chowdhury
was a writer with a razor-sharp wit whose work blended the bizarre with the
profound. Part-jester, part-rationalist, he employed his terrific sense of
humour (often directed at himself) to put an absurd spin on reality. Besides
generous excerpts from his widely praised novels, in the section entitled
?The Investigator? the book presents a selection from his longest-running
column with the tagline ?We dig for the truth. So you don?t have to?; ?We the
People? is a series of reactions to the increasingly bewildering political
world; ?The 4-Minute Manager™? aims to make a management guru out of
everyone; ?Ask Uncle? carries advice from your friendly neighbourhood uncle;
?What If? presents alternate histories from the Chinese capturing Assam to
Madhuri never performing ?Ek, Do, Teen? and more; also included are poetry
and the previously unpublished piece, ?I Lost My Trousers in Tiljala?. Wildly
funny, thought-provoking, and thoroughly entertaining, Truth Digger pays
tribute to one of our finest comic writers.
