Read excerpt from the No One As Rano Biswas by the author herself.
Read review of the book by Yashodhara Gupta.
Translated by Bishnupriya Chowdhuri
Written by Alokparna and translated by Bishnupriya Chowdhuri, “No One as Rano Biswas” is a stunning example of modern Bengali experimental storytelling. A rather polarizing read and a gritty communicator of societal truths,this book dares us to look into our own little worlds and recognize where we, as a race, may be going wrong…A book like no other.
