Amitabh Roy

Amitabh Roy, b. 1974 pursued his studies in English Literature. His writings are a distinct revelation of his knack for dark poetry. Everything that is dark appeals to him.

'Set free from the social norms' - is his message to the readers. His creative spirit and his desire to break free from traditions are beautifully expressed through all his creative endeavours.

He started his journey as a writer with the book 'The God of Small Things : A novel of social commitment'. Since then, there has been no looking back. His second book 'Shashi Deshpande's Journey from Tradition to Modernity' is an analysis of status of women in the society. It also portrays the feminist aspect in him. His love for dark poetry and keen appreciation of Baudelaire's poems is evident from his book entitled (Re)Constructing Baudelaire: From 'Victorian Mephistopheles' to 'Modernist Saint' published in the year 2019.

His writings are free from all cliché and true to his image - an iconoclast.
