Tentang eBook ini

The book itself is a journey that takes us through the lands from Hiroshima, San Francisco,

and Kolkata to Kishoreganj. Each narrative unfolds geographical, socio-cultural, excellence

of the places. On one hand it reflects the contemporary lifestyle, politics, cultures and

celebrations while on the other hand it echoes a sense of history and tradition associated

with it.

Though this is a travelogue and each story has individual plotline, yet, if observed minutely,

overall there runs a subtle undertone of storyline which achieves its height in the chapters 5

and 6. These two chapters capture the trail back in the heart West Bengal i.e Kolkata and

Bangladesh. It depicts the power structure of society, shed light on the problem of the

homeless, describes the local trains and so much more. Besides, a significant part of the

book consists of reflections on the lives of the migrated families in the post-partition era and

the status of family relationships of the people from both sides of India-Bangladesh border.

Therefore, Slippers is not only a collection of expressions and experiences gathered from

around the world but the essence of the book as a journey lies within the pauses and halts,

during the tea breaks when contemplation creeps in with the mere descriptions.
