A novel composed of three lakhs and forty-six thousand words, written over a period of ten years, ransacking fifteen libraries, one state archive, one national archive, one international archive, and collecting books from eight antiquarian booksellers, and consulting four erudite scholar writers, and recording reminiscences from five octogenarians. This book is written in an amusing, extravagant, and epical-satirical vein, featuring immense erudition, as well as limitless street-slangs, simultaneously, and is aptly comparable to the works of Francois Rabelais and James Joyce; and in this work, magic realism and fantasy occur against the background of life of the Bengalee race in the Indian socio-political system of the first decade of the 21st century. It’s not a story of love and sacrifice, rather it’s a story of atonement and retribution; it’s not a story of revenge, rather it’s a story of justice.

Nilotpal Roy, the author of this book, writes in 2 languages ― English and Bengali. He amusingly says that he writes in English with his left hand, and when he writes in Bengali, he uses his right hand. It means that his flair for writing in Bengali is far more cerebral than in his English writings. This one is such a cerebral book of him written in Bengali with his right hand. It contains 10 essays, 2 speeches, and an imaginary letter ― all non-fiction ― written during a period of almost 5 years ― since December 2013 till October 2018. When you read this book, you can understand that these 13 pieces of writing are “of what level”, so that it takes 5 years to write. And when you read the back-blurb of this book, that tells you about the author, you can realize “why it takes 5 years” to write just 13 pieces of non-fiction. Moreover, as a bonus, readers are also having the ‘Introduction’ of the book written by the author himself. In addition, the ‘Cover’, the ‘Dedication Page’, and the statement in the ‘Quotation Page’ indicating the central spirit of the book, overtly help the readers to understand the wit of the writer, as well as the mood of the book. And his own creative concept of the front cover page, where every letter of the author’s name appears as “burnt match-sticks”, which, as if, have become physically distorted by the pain of being burnt, and thus, have turned into different letters of the Bengali alphabet. It symbolically indicates the existential angst and crisis of the creative entity of the writer. In all his books, whether English or Bengali, the name of the author appears in this very same manner, which has become his own exclusive water-mark, his individual thumb-sign.

Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially sui generis, effervescently inventive, and versatilely fecund, ‘Pastiche of Angst’ offers the readers a life-changing experience. Nilotpal Roy’s astonishing masterpiece, ‘Pastiche of Angst’, tells of the absurd and fairy-tale like events which occur inside the mind of the protagonist, in Kolkata on 28th April 2004, when he gets estranged from his sensual fiancee. This richly allusive, allegorical and symbolic novel, revolutionary in its ‘Post Post-Modernistic’ experimentalism, is now being hailed as a work of genius, by many contemporary doyens and stalwarts of literature worldwide.

This book is like a raw sewage, the first ever book of ‘pensées’ written in Bengali language. A juxtaposition of personal and impersonal fragments, impregnated with cerebrally nefarious and rancorous thoughts, this book explores the dialectic existence of the author as an unbiased witness of his own time. The sporadic ramifications of these vignettes, emerging out of the socio-psychological experiences of the author, reflect the perils of a precociously fecund mind. The title of this book has no letters or words from any alphabet of any language; it is just an Ideogram character that means ‘quest’. This book symbolically signifies the classical quest of every individual on earth, as a human being, and henceforth the title of the book can never be pronounced or read, (neither aloud, nor silently); rather it can only be viewed, and understood ― or not understood at all. This book is an unputdownable piece of cerebral literature, which is the first of its kind in the Bengali language.

Notorious for amalgamating oriental realities and occidental fantasies with his own life in his writing, this book of Nilotpal Roy has been feted for its superfluity of language as well as its candid expressiveness. Containing 14 poems and 4 short stories (and 1 additional short story in Bengali language) this book most aptly implements the literary term ‘anti-literature’ coined by poet David Gascoyne in 1935 to describe literature which turns traditional rules and conventions upside down. Whereas, on one hand, in the poems, the nuanced verses imbued with personal themes and supplemented by philosophical motifs hypnotise the readers, on the other hand, in the stories, the avant-garde narrative technique and the bordering-on-the-absurd plot mesmerise the readers to provoke them intellectually. This book is a must read for those who prefer off-the-beaten-track literature.
