Author of the hungry tide6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() In Kanai's and Piya's world, they prefer the structure of science or business where they can view everything as black or white. ![]() ![]() The Hungry Tide is a novel full of ideas, none of them found to have an easy answer. In line with the title, the story has a rhythm, a tide flowing between events, perspectives and impeccably drawn moments in the lives of the characters. Humans, since time immemorial, have attributed larger-than-life, mythical human and animal characteristics to inanimate nature in order to deal with what for them was a world of incomprehensible vagaries – such attributes then making possible a link between humanity and a natural word The Hungry Tide explores is not just the historical partition of Bengal but also the subsequent partition of Bengal's psyche. Ghosh introduces the Sundarbans not only as a location, but as a living entity, endowed with human and animal qualities, and rooted in myth – connecting in this way to an elemental side of our human psyche which extends beyond mere rational understanding. Abstract In The Hungry Tide, Ghosh offers a brilliant treatment of highly complex and historically loaded problem, reflecting light from each of the various facets. ![]()

He flings up a bucket of paint, the milkman, real trucks, a full-size lighthouse and “a curious whale, in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Everything sticks.
