Dipanjan Rai Chaudhuri probes the human condition in indifferent city streets and turbulent forests, looking at forms of love and betrayal, with the spotlight turning on a whole spectrum of emotions from black despair to euphoric optimism. Each of the three short novellas in Triolet has a plot racing through an air almost of fantasy, across stark cityscapes and turbulent forests, dealing essentially and always with the human condition, the myriad-coloured skies between hopelessness and hope, love and betrayal.

Dipanjan Rai Chaudhuri, born in Kolkata in 1944, studied Physics at Presidency College in the turbulent late sixties and early seventies.Physics and the fight for democratic rights alternated as dominants in his life, with literature emerging from the background after his retirement as a don at Presidency, and a quest for improvement in teaching methods, especially in science and mathematics.
