A modern-day Bengali Decameron, My Kind of Girl is a sensitive and vibrant novella containing four disarming accounts of unrequited love. In a railway station one bleak December night, four strangers from different walks of life 'a contractor, a government bureaucrat, a writer, and a doctor'face an overnight delay. The sight of a young loving couple prompts them to reflect on and share with each other their own experiences of the vagaries of the human heart in a story cycle that is in turn melancholy, playful, wise, and heart-wrenching. The tales reveal each traveler's inner landscape and provide an illuminating glimpse into contemporary life in India. Coming out of a great storytelling tradition, My Kind of Girl is a moving and imaginative look at love from one of India's most celebrated writers.;My Kind of Girl, Buddhadeva Bose (title page); Chapter One; Chapter TwoΒ·Β·Β·Makhanlal's Sad Tale; Chapter ThreeΒ·Β·Β·Gagan Baran's Tale; Chapter FourΒ·Β·Β·Dr. Abani's Marriage; Chapter FiveΒ·Β·Β·The Writer's Monologue.
