Corridor by Sarnath Banrjee

 Corridor by Sarnath Banrjee

Hey there, bookworms! 

I recently dove into a graphic novel, Corridor by Sarnath Banerjee. And let me tell you, it was a wild ride!  This Indian comic book is a unique blend of humor, philosophy, and pop culture. It follows the quirky Jehangir Rangoonwalla, a tea-dispensing, wisdom-sharing bookseller in Delhi's Connaught Place. 

The story is packed with interesting characters: Brighu, the adventure-seeking romantic; Digital Dutta, the conflicted Marxist; and Shintu, the newlywed on a quest for love potions. These characters are constantly referencing famous works like Double Helix and the Beat Generation, making the novel a fun intellectual journey. 

Banerjee's illustrations are vibrant and full of life, perfectly complementing the witty dialogue and thought-provoking themes. It's a visual feast that keeps you engaged from start to finish. Sarnath Banerjee's "Corridor," the first Indian novel written entirely in comic-book style, is set for a reprint after its first 2,000 copies were snatched up by booksellers within just one month.

"He is a bit like me. He loves gathering trivia and knows obscure things like the way Marx preferred his eggs and details of Mick Jagger's constipation," said Banerjee -- who bears an uncanny physical resemblance to his fictional character.

If you're looking for a fresh and exciting reading experience, I highly recommend Corridor. It's a must-read for fans of graphic novels and anyone who appreciates a good story. 

Recommending you the book.

Thank You for your time.
