ABOUT THE BOOK

Malloban is set in North Calcutta in the winter of 1929. The
eponymous protagonist, a lower-middle-class office worker, lives in
College Street-a locality known for its bookstores, publishing houses, and
universities-with his wife Utpala and their daughter Monu. The novel
unfolds through a series of everyday scenes of dysfunction and
discontent: bickering about bathrooms and budgeting, family trips to the
zoo and the movies, a visit from Utpala's brother's family which displaces
Malloban to a boarding house, and the appearance of a frequent latenight
visitor to Utpala's upstairs bedroom. Meanwhile, the daughter
Monu bears the brunt of her parents' "unlove."

Arguably the most beloved poet in modern Bangla after Tagore,
Jibanananda wrote a significant number of novels and short stories
discovered and published after his death. Malloban is his most popular
novel.
