She has not only brought a wave of change in Bengal’s political scenario, but also created a sensation in the literary world. Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee’s literary works have become a big commercial hit in recent months. It could well be a sign of her rising popularity graph, say many.
In her books, Banerjee covers a whole range of topics and experiments with different forms of writing, ranging from essays, stories, poetry to rhymes. While books like
Asubho Sanket (The Sinister Signals), Janatar Darbar (The People’s Court), Jaago Bangla ( Rise, Bengal), Ganatantrer Lajja (The Shame of Democracy) and
Andoloner Kotha (The Story of Struggles) are collections of her political essays;
Ma, (Mother), Jonmaini (Not Born), Smarani (The Street), Nagar (The City) and
Ma-Mati-Manush (Mother, Land and People) are collections of her poems.
“The sale of her books in the last one year has been phenomenal. Books worth about Rs 8 lakh have been sold. She has received a royalty of almost Rs 80,000 from the sale of her books in the last one year itself,” said Sudhanshu Shekhar Dey of Deys’ Publishing Company, which publishes the Trinamool chief’s books.
