A Golden Age

Tahmima Anam, author of A Golden Age
In 1971, East Pakistan rose in revolt against the oppressive regime that had, for so long, exploited its wealth and disdained its people. That regime was based in West Pakistan, the dominant portion of a political state whose physical entity was separated by a thousand miles of Indian territory. Like all wars this conflict was written in the blood of individuals. In her new book author of "A Golden Age" Tahmima Anam tells the story of Bangladesh's creation through the eyes of a courageous young widow.

I mean we're here in 2024!
I just can't believe this interview took place 10 years ago. Honestly telling I landed here by accident in search for some explanation on the novel for academic purpose.
Who would have thought the author herself is such a gem. Her eloquent speech, dulcet tones and sense of presence are just too legit to the point and I wouldn't mind listening to her speak for hours.
I'm definitely reading her works.

Very much apparent the author has the academic knowledge of both political & social unrest of Bangladesh...specifically of early 70's. It is also apparent, based on her presentation, however hidden, to go such a length - writing a book, must have been greatly influenced by her own family members! After-all Bangladeshis take great pride discussing the war time survival stories. I hope western world will continue finding facts and stories thru her creative writings.
