In the heart of Lutyens' Delhi sits Jehangir Rangoonwalla, enlightened dispenser of tea, wisdom, and second-hand books. Among his customers are Brighu, a postmodern Ibn Batuta looking for obscure collectibles and a love life; Digital Dutta who lives mostly in his head, torn between Karl Marx and an H1-B visa; and the newly-married Shintu, looking for the ultimate aphrodisiac in the seedy by-lanes of old Delhi. Played out in the corridors of Connaught Place and Calcutta, the story captures the alienation and fragmented reality of urban life through an imaginative alchemy of text and image.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Banerjee'''s work highlights the growing relevance of comic books as a legit literary medium, moving beyond its traditional rolesÂhumour, action, fantasy. --Outlook
Sarnath Banerjee s novel bludgeons you, tickles you, even titillates you, both with the novelist s and the artist s tools... He is definitely a path-breaker. --Indian Express
Corridor is witty, and yet so soul-searching and angsty. --The Hindu

Great novel!,

This review is from: Corridor: A Graphic Novel (Paperback)
I had to buy this novel for a perspectives course in college. It was such an interesting read and I learned so much about city culture in India, and the collisions between Indian culture and the rising Western influence (what with globalization and all). It takes a bit to get used to the style at first, but once you get into it, there's so much to grasp.

Don't buy it!,

This review is from: Corridor: A Graphic Novel (Paperback)
This thing - I hesitate to call it literature or even a novel - was a total waste of money! Or maybe I'm really missing something, but I wouldn't advise spending the bucks to find out
