When I picked up this book, Murder with Bengali Characteristics by ShovonChowdhury, I was fascinated beyond belief with the title. • It’s a very well thought out, attractive title, much like the book itself. It invites a reader to be curious about the content of the book. • Famous Classic Indian Books Bengal in the year 2035, when it’s no more a part of India and is in fact a Chinese protectorate. • The plot revolves around a certain inspector Li who is investigating the murder of a teacher, suspected to have been carried out by the New Thug Society, an organization which has resolved to liberate Bengal.
Along with other intriguing characters like Sexy Chen, Big Chen, Governor Wen, Propagandist Wang and General Zhou, the book has an interesting premise. • But the best thing about the book was the author’s extremely witty humour; the kind which deserves great respect. • I felt the book was ferociously inventive. There were no limits to the imagination of the author, which should always be the case when one attempts to write fiction.
The book lacks a compelling story although you can still experience ShovonChowdhury’s satirical brilliance in the book. • He still makes fun of our famously twisted political ethos, in his typical style. • However, one can’t help but compare it to The Competent Authority which introduced us to his sardonic humour and in that case, Murder with Bengali Characteristics seems a letdown when you have experienced once, what a writer like ShovonChowdury is capable of. • [Source: http://www.booksandalotmore.com/2015/09/23/book-review-murder-bengali-characteristics-shovon-chowdhury/]
