Of all the Nabarun Bhattacharya's works that I've read this is by far the best. This is just poetry phrased as a narrative. Depicting the magic realism where dogs are being butchered by men, it just mirrors the suffering of the oppressed class by the whims of the oppressors. In this when hopes seem to be vanish, the sufferers always find someone who guides them from misery.
At that point a strange bond unites them that washes away differences and there arises a silent revolution whose might is feared by the powerful. As Doomsday approaches in its steady steps, it is only the ruthless that is punished. The author has painted the reality with his signature style of analogies that is unique indeed. Interestingly this will inspire hope in the hearts of the confused and the lonely. Though the mind may be numbed but the conscience will be clearer as the readers reach the closing pages.
