Siddharth Chowdhury

For Siddharth Chowdhury, whatever he writes is actually adding up to a novel, one that he never plans to finish. So Ritwik & Hriday, a compilation of three of his books, could be considered a process of this adding up. Though not as the novel, it adds up as a device; a tool to guide you into his universe. This universe, at one level, is of twins — Delhi and Patna — of '80s and '90s. But much more is released through his prose: truths, emotions and moments that are unique to the place and time.
