Fulkumari and the Man from Bangladesh
By Pinaki Bhattacharya
In the haunting stillness of pandemic-era Paris, a Bangladeshi refugee forms an unlikely bond with a small rat he names Fulkumari. From this surreal companionship emerges a modern-day Arabian Nights, as he recounts one story each day — unlocking buried memories and confronting the shadows of his past.
Through his vivid and lyrical storytelling, readers are transported across time and space — from the revolutionary tides of political upheaval to the searing hunger of famines, from the heartbreak of civil war to the tender warmth of familial bonds. Each tale is delicately interlaced with Bengali poetry, cultural folklore, and philosophical insight — drawing a rich, emotional map of identity, trauma, and resilience.
As Fulkumari listens, the tales reveal not only the narrator’s hidden truths but also echo the universal search for connection, dignity, and meaning in an uncertain world.
