Ep 2: Decoding Feluda with Mir

Numerous fictional detectives have been born in India. But in fame and popularity, none come close to Satyajit Ray’s Feluda. Today I take a look at Feluda stories with a new gaze, not as a young child reading them for the first time, but as an adult who has had the benefit of having read many many detective novels since, to try and understand why Feluda stories enjoy the kind of popularity that they do, decades after they were first created.Host: Suparna Chatterjee (www.suparnachatterjee.com)Instagram: thedesidetectiveshowsoup_and_chatEmail: [email protected]: Mir Afsar Ali (@mirafsarali)Feluda theme music played by Gourab Das @gourabex Podcast theme music by @b_prasanna and @khurshedbatliwala Books mentioned in this episode:by Satyajit Ray, published by @anandapublishersofficial in Bengali and by @penguinindia in English1.
