The reading event of The Prisoner by the writer herself.
Translated from the Bengali by Adrija Ghosh
Resonating with timeless relevance, The Prisoner explores questions that defy easy answers, conflicts that have left human existence pining for resolve. Tilottama’s richly crafted prose, suffused with great philosophical depth throws a shaft of light through prison walls and broken voices, through the clashings of loyalty and longing, confinement and freedom, This book presents the eternal search for absolute liberation in a world fraught with moral ambiguity, betrayal to ultimately embark on a quest for boundless love.
