Calcutta, Feb 2 (PTI): Meanwhile the seventh part of her autobiography 'Nirbasan' (Exile) is selling like hot cakes at the Kolkata Book Fair, a day after it was released amidst controversy.
We have ordered a reprint. The first print of 1000 copies is sold out. We are overwhelmed with the response,” publisher Shibani Mukherji of the People's Book Society said.
'Nirbasan' gives an account of the controversial Bangladeshi author's plight following her expulsion from her adopted home of Kolkata in November 2007.
Written in Bengali, the new book traces the circumstances in which she was bundled out by the government to New Delhi and the resultant mental trauma and insecurity of not having a home anywhere in the world.
