Description

Patna, as a city, has not been much sung in the recent past in the literary circles. This book thus holds much importance as the author tries to bring out not only the Patna which has the ruins of the once Pataliputra, but also its soul and plethora of colours that still makes it an eerie and beautiful city. From the infamous rats' saga to the surreal quintessence of the city in its residents, Patna is a city that has more than what meets the eye. Every author has a city as their muse and Amitava explains why Patna grows beyond its confines and flaws and still becomes a likeable place to live in. His perspectives and observations come out of a profound composure and immense liking for Patna.
