Dhaka Delirium is a collection of short essays written over almost two decades. ‘This is a city that narrates its myriad of stories without telling any stories at all. In many ways, Dhaka Delirium is a retroactive act of penitence for failing to realize how the South Asian capital city reveals its inner stories through the language of spatiality and urbanity.’ Adnan Morshed

A collection of short essays written over almost two decades 
Revealing Dhaka’s cosmopolitanism, magic realism, historicism, melancholia, and urban absurdities
