BABA BUGIis a metafictional novel about the Indian society today. The viscious, corrupt and criminal polities of today holds the individual helpless in its tightening coils as Magi, a lone fisherwoman of a little village in Konarka, stands up to give battle. Pitted against politicians, criminals and callous people and with an uncomprehending Zyborg of a new generation son-of-God, Baba Bugi, hurtling through space to save mankind, she finds that if anything is to be done it is to be done nbow and done by herself and people around her. In a dinale where the ordinary individual is attempted to be cannibalized by the politicians, the criminals, the establishment and even by the author, with the new son-of-God, Baba Bugi, standing confused, Magi rejects all available forms and strikes out a path by herself with her friends. Tomorrow has already begun, she says. The novel creates a new sbu-gente, the cosmic novel, functioning at once within a cultural milieu and going beyond it into international and cosmic expanses, contexting human beings and situations differently. The result is surrealistic. Baba Bugi is comic and satitical novel with freshness in its comic vision that will make you rethink about the world in a different way. With the publication of BABA BUGI not only will a new name, that of Biyot Tripathy, be prominently added to the world of fiction but also a new variety of cosmic fiction overriding narrow national bounds will expand the limits of the already arrived internationalist fiction.
