Anindita Basu Knihy

Anindita Basu píše v angličtine aj vo svojom rodnom jazyku bengálčine. Jej diela sú hlboko zakorenené v indickej kultúre a tradíciách, no zároveň odrážajú jej skúsenosti a život v Kalifornii. Basu skúma témy identity, migrácie a stretávania sa kultúr, pričom jej písanie sa vyznačuje poetickým jazykom a silným emocionálnym nábojom. Jej próza ponúka jedinečný pohľad na zložitosť ľudských vzťahov a hľadanie domova v neznámom prostredí.
