?The very best work of the acclaimed humorist\n Shovon Chowdhury The author of the critically acclaimed dystopian novels The\n Competent Authority and Murder with Bengali Characteristics, Shovon Chowdhury\n was a writer with a razor-sharp wit whose work blended the bizarre with the\n profound. Part-jester, part-rationalist, he employed his terrific sense of\n humour (often directed at himself) to put an absurd spin on reality. Besides\n generous excerpts from his widely praised novels, in the section entitled\n ?The Investigator? the book presents a selection from his longest-running\n column with the tagline ?We dig for the truth. So you don?t have to?; ?We the\n People? is a series of reactions to the increasingly bewildering political\n world; ?The 4-Minute Manager™? aims to make a management guru out of\n everyone; ?Ask Uncle? carries advice from your friendly neighbourhood uncle;\n ?What If? presents alternate histories from the Chinese capturing Assam to\n Madhuri never performing ?Ek, Do, Teen? and more; also included are poetry\n and the previously unpublished piece, ?I Lost My Trousers in Tiljala?. Wildly\n funny, thought-provoking, and thoroughly entertaining, Truth Digger pays\n tribute to one of our finest comic writers.
