  Everything that could possibly be wrong with a city was wrong with Calcutta." And yet, after completing his education in the States, Kushunava Choudhury embodied his parents` greatest fears by returning to the city they escaped for a better life. Arriving with grand plans, the flaws in which could not be detected while making them in the States, Choudhury returned to live in a city of concrete, mildewed buildings, political graffiti, jobless men arguing with the newspaper headlines in their pyamas, bazaars full of squatting fish-sellers, Communist bureaucrats increasingly accustomed to luxury, and ubiquitous, inescapable grime. Sifting through the chaos and decay for those stories that are ignored by the papers, that don`t fall into any reporter`s beat, The Epic City is a soulful, insightful and meticulously researched account of everyday lives and an extraordinary portrait of a city which is a world unto itself.
