  Eighteenth-century Calcutta. The second city of the Empire is teeming with scandalous gossip and rumour. Abravanel Ben Obadiah Ben Aharon Kabariti, Sephardic Jew from Syria and trader in novelties such as corsets, aphrodisiacs and zebras, befriends the British officers and the local elite by day and records their escapades by night in a leather-bound journal. 1950s Paris. A battered copy of the journal surfaces in a hole-in-the-wall antique shop in Montmartre. London, 2002. A phone rings in the East End, late at night, announcing a death and an inheritance: a silver lighter, a vintage motorcycle, an ancient radio and The Barn Owl’s Wondrous Capers. What follows is a bizarre chain of events involving eccentric zamindars, a decadent aristocrat with a passion for lady footballers, a psychic cartographer, a haunted office building and, at the centre of it all, Digital Dutta, neighbourhood historian and keeper of secrets. Inspired by the legend of the Wandering Jew, this second work of fiction from India’s foremost graphic novelist is an irreverent tale of illicit sex and drunken religiosity, which unravels new riddles with each reading.  -->   Share at:      Imprint: India Penguin Published: Dec/2023   ISBN: 9780144001088 Length : 280 PagesMRP : ?599.00     Imprint: Audiobook Published:    ISBN:      Imprint: India Penguin Published: Dec/2023   ISBN: 9789351186786 Length : 280 PagesMRP : ?599.00       The Barn Owl’s Wondrous Capers Banerjee Sarnath Overview -->   --> Eighteenth-century Calcutta.
