Abdulrazak Gurnah is a celebrated author and a Nobel Laureate in Literature (2021), and meeting him is a special moment indeed. Rafiath Rashid Mithila, a talent powerhouse herself, recently bumped into Gurnah, and shared a glimpse from the meeting on Instagram. While it is unknown where and how they met, it has surely given bibliophiles and Gurnah fans a reason to dive into the world of his creations.

My Kolkata thus recommends few books by Gurnah for the February reading list:

1. Memory of Departure

2. Paradise

3. By the Sea

4. Desertion

5. Afterlives
