About the Book
This focused critical study examines diverse aspects of the short stories of Parasuram (Rajshekhar Basu). Known for his sharp wit, satire, and linguistic brilliance, Parasuram occupies a distinctive place in modern Bengali literature.

Spanning 120 pages, this paperback offers readers a concise yet insightful engagement with one of Bengal’s most celebrated short story writers.
