Narayan Gangopadhyay's Confessional Novels: The Intellectual
Middle-Class's Crisis of Self and Self-Exploration

ABSTRACT | ||
In the history of post-independence Bengali literature Narayan Gangopadhyay
is widely known as a powerful novelist and short story writer. But while the
notable novels of the first few phases of his literary career, such as
‘Upanibesh’, ‘Shilalipi’, ‘Mahananda’, ‘Padasanchar’, ‘Amabasyar Gaan’, have
been studied and analyzed academically, his later self-investigative
self-projective and confessional novels have not received as much intellectual
scrutiny and critical acclamation. It is fair to say some have been neglected.
However, in novels like ‘Nirjan Shikhar’, ‘kacher Darja’ the author has
represented unmerciful as well as impartial analysis of the so-called
intellectual and rational upper-middle class Bengali mind of a particular
period which helps us to identify the layers of historical reality of our
society and literature from an evolutionary point of view. Therefore, the
present article attempts to provide a brief review and evaluation of such
novels. | ||
