Author Description

Postcards from Bangladesh is an unique and personal account of Bangladesh as seen through the eyes of three creative professionals - Sudeep Sen, Tanvir, and Kelley Lynch-from three different countries. The book revolves around the idea and metaphor of a postcard - snapshots, snippets of life in one place that capture a moment in time reflecting something larger about the culture as a whole. It is not meant to be encyclopaedic or all - inclusive. Rather, it portrays what Bangladesh means to them from an alternate focal point - things off the beaten track, aspects left out of final frames, unused notes scribbled in the margins - all forming the glue that binds the book together. Postcards from Bangladesh traces journeys both interior and exterior using prose, poetry, and photography to create a poetic documentary - a film in freeze-frames.
