Summary:
When
Kushanava
Choudhury
arrived in New Jersey at the age of twelve, he had already migrated halfway around the world four times. After graduating from Princeton, he moved back to the world which his immigrant parents had abandoned, to a city built between a river and a swamp, where the moisture-drenched air swarms with mosquitos after sundown. Sifting through the chaos for the stories that never make the papers,
Kushanava
Choudhury
paints a soulful, compelling portrait of the everyday lives that make Calcutta.
