Freitag | 14.15 Uhr | Prof. Shubhoranjan Dasgupta Author of only two novels, Akhtaruzzaman Elias (1943-97) counts as one of the most iconic writers of 20th century Bengal. In Chilekothar Sepai (1975) and Khoabnama (1996), Elias conjures up the late 1960s and the mid-1940s in East Bengal through complex character set-ups and his very unique Bengali prose. Prof. Subhoranjan Dasgupta, an acknowledged authority on this author (he calls him "perhaps the greatest Bengali writer after Manik Bandyopadhyay"), has dedicated his book Elegy and Dream to Elias, the only English monograph on the subject. In his two lectures, he will introduce Elias's novels and guide us through his fascinating literary world.
