Dr Sabarna Roy’s latest book to be released in March 2023
New Delhi : Dr. Roy’s upcoming book, Thirty Summer Poems and Conversations about a Murder, is scheduled for publication in March of 2023. This is an extremely compelling and difficult to put down read due to its combination of intensity, morbidity, starkness, realism, and thought-provokingness.
The poems meander around the human psychology and thought process that all people go through as they slog through life.
It’s a book best suited for an adult audience, as it’s quite serious and might not be to the taste of someone looking for something humorous to read for leisure. To be clear, it does not focus on any particular demographic.
The writing is tight, exciting, and contains all the necessary components of a good detective story, despite its brevity.
Dr. Sabarna Roy worked as the Senior Vice President [Business Develop-ment] for Electrosteel Castings Limited in Kolkata in addition to writing nine critically acclaimed fictional works (including novellas, short stories, plays, conversations, opinion pieces, journals, ballads, and poems).
Dr. Roy, who is 55 years old, has decided to change his professional focus. In his new role as DI Business Head – Sales & Marketing for The Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Limited, he will be based out of their headquarters in Bengaluru.
While Dr. Roy may have been trained as a technocrat, his keen observations and detailed sketches of the human mind shine through his literature, revealing him to be a literary scientist of sorts who follows no conventions when it comes to writing with heart.
Meanwhile, Dr. Roy’s latest epistolary novel, co-written with Sita Bhaskar, Tara and Sandy: Slow Dance of Infinite Stars, has been a smashing success.
It is a book of letters exchanged between two school friends who briefly meet at the airport and exchange their mail addresses and years later they start writing to each other. It is a beautifully crafted book where letters go back and forth. Tara and Sandy exchange and share their life stories interspersed with philosophy, bad marriage and relationships. In an age where letter writing has gone out of style, this book brings in fresh breath of air.
Dr Roy says, “I am now concentrating on a thick contemporary political novel, which is like-ly to be published in the winter of 2024-25. Although a section of my readers is glued to my poetry, I love writing prose more than poems.”
