Nilotpal Roy (born 19 June 1978) is an Indian writer, thinker, literary critic, and commentator on culture. He is a bi-lingual novelist, essayist, poet, playwright, and short story writer. He writes with equal flair in two languages — in English, and in his vernacular Bengali. So far, he is best known for his bold, maverick, and unforeseen styles of writing, as well as for his unconventional ways of thinking. He is a featured author in Goodreads¹ and Amazon International.² Apart from being published in many national and international print and e-journals, as well as being an honorable invitee contributor in festschrift books, so far he has 4 solo titles published by 3 different publishers — a Bengali collection of satirical essays,³ an experimental English fiction in Joycean canon,⁴ an English anthology of his poems and short stories,⁵ and a Bengali book of pensees.⁶ Recently, his interview has been published in the American magazine ‘Fab World Today’. He has also been featured in the American newspaper ‘US Times Now’, and another American newspaper ‘Resident Weekly’ has published an incommensurable review of his novel ‘Pastiche of Angst’. Earlier, this novel was also reviewed in the most prestigious Joycean journal ‘James Joyce Broadsheet’ which is published from the University of Leeds, UK.⁷
