Our Nights were Born in the Streets

This is a journey of displaced identity-an exile, a dystopia-constantly in search of a home that is nowhere to be found, except on the landscape of language where reality and all its known and unknown possibilities dwell as cohabitants. They exist in a constant flux of love-hate and love-again relationships, exactly in the way human life flows and confronts death and forgetting. This collection is a whirlwind of conversations. It is a memoir, sort of love letters, and also an ongoing dialogue between the man and his times. Sarbajit Sarkar is a poet, writer, painter and critic from Kolkata, India.
