Neuware - A fascinating insight into bygone times: Pradip Chanda's memoirs are so much more than simply autobiographical. Glimpses of a post Partition Bengal, a Calcutta dealing with PTSD, and a childhood shaped by events beyond its ken - his experiences and perspectives offer us insights into an unknown and now almost forgotten world.They are a peep into the Bombay and Delhi of the '60s and '70s with clubs, chummeries, bars, dances and a sprinkling of nonchalance. Preeti and he seemingly light heartedly navigated through happier, more easy-going times. The corporate shenanigans are gripping, as are the miniature travelogues, and vignettes of a young family in England.A life well lived, loved, spent, with engrossing anecdotes of journeys to lands both far off and close by, makes for a beguiling tale. The Final Cut is much more than the sum of its many parts. This is a great read from a citizen of the world.- Sheela Narayan. Seller Inventory # 9798888496312
“For the Culturally Curious, the Emotionally Brave”
If you like books that make you feel, think, and laugh out loud at truths you didn’t expect, The Final Cut might just become your favourite discovery this year.
A story that roams from post-independence India to Europe and Latin America, from racecourses to Board Rooms, from the sheer joy of living and loving to heart breaks!
And along the way? Art, architecture, music, and society — all seen through a delightfully irreverent, sharply observant lens.
