Kaljayi Kambakht (Hindi)

Kaljay Kambakt: The Time-Conqueror Wretch__Sham is a precocious schoolboy who dreams about making sense of the world he inhabits. Shaman, his friend and alter-ego prods him along. They walk together exploring the gullies and outskirts of their suburban hill village. They passionately glean whatever information is available to them through books or people. They make patterns out of this information and scheme to gain control over their reality. The villagers become characters in their scheme and start revealing the cracks in their reality. As fragments of science, philosophy, fairy-tales, folk-legends and history start seeping into their everyday existence, Sham and Shan find themselves deep in an unmanageable world of their own fantasies._____Hindi Literary Fiction by award-winning, experimental filmmaker Amit Dutta._____Praise for the book: Amit Dutta’s “Kaljayi Kambakht” is a book like none other in Hindi literature. A bildungsroman of sorts, it plunges you into the strange and unsettling world of its youthful protagonist and holds you there until you cannot breathe, a world of magic and danger, by turns prosaic and poetic, mythic and oneiric, that unfolds like a fevered dream as one startling image follows another with the logic and inexorability of dreams. - Rahul Soni_____‘?????? ??????’ ?? ????-??????? ??? ?? ????? ? ????? ?? ??? ?? ???? ????? ????? ?? ??? ?? ??????? ?? ??????? ??? ??? ?? ????? ?? ?????? ??? ??? ??? ????? ???? ????? ?? ??? ??? ?? ????, ???? ?? ????? ???????? ??? ??? ?? ??????? ?? ??? ?? ????? ???? ???? ????? ???? ????? ?? ???? ????? ?? ??? ???????? ?? ????? ????? ???? ???? ????? ?? ????? ??? ?? ???? ??? ????? ??? ???? ?? ???? - ???? ???????
