The Barn Owl's Wondrous Capers by Sarnath Banerjee

A visually inventive graphic narrative that follows a restless narrator drifting through the streets, cafés and decaying theatres of Kolkata, weaving together episodic encounters with quirky, often melancholic characters; through sketches of everyday life, scrapings of memory and detective-like detours it maps the city’s changing politics, faded cosmopolitanism and cultural hauntings, balancing humor, nostalgia and sharp social observation in a collage of image and text.
