Description: THE FINAL BOOK IN THE AWARD-WINNING CHANDAL JIBON SERIESAfter escaping a deadly bomb blast in the city’s red-light area, Jibon returns to the Jadavpur railway station having lost his memory. He is instantly recognised by those who live in and around the station—squatters, rickshaw-drivers, beggars. liquor vendors, ragpickers. pickpockets—as the daring young man who rescued them many a time. However, Jibon has become a stranger to himself. He is simply playing the role of Jibon. His past, allegiant to the Naxalites, is marked by bloodshed.He is in Calcutta of the mid-1970s, a time when the Stoneman prowls the streets after midnight, crushing the heads of homeless folk. This is the city where the rich refugees from East Pakistan have become even more affluent, and the poor ones way more deprived. Women are swindled and brutalised with alarming frequency here; orphans are kidnapped from public places. The influence of the ultra-reds has waned and the clout of the reds and the Congress party is on the rise.Jibon knows he’s an unnecessary creature in this ‘Saare Jahan se Achcha’ country. Like a wheel, he is simply caught up in a cycle of relentless destitution, oppression and hatred. And yet an inexplicable will to move forward remains in his blood.Masterfully translated by V. Ramaswamy, The Interloper is an evocative finale to Manoranjan Byapari’s spectacular autobiographical trilogy.
