About the Book

Baba Bugi is 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 a collous 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 around her. In a finale 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 sub-genre, the cosmic novel, functioning at once within a cultural milieu and going beyond it into international and cosmic expanses, contexting human being and situations differently. the result is surrealistic
Baba Bugi is a comic and satirical novel with a 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 world fiction but also a new variety of cosmic fiction overriding narrow national bounds will expand the limits of the already arrived internationalist fiction. Baba Bugi also brings into literary geography the new space of Bhubaneshwar, like Hardy and Faulkner, but a far more lively space that is likely to stay and is sure to be revisited. All this is brought forth through Magi, a woman who is unstoppable like the human spirit. Baba Bugi is exciting, disturbing and funny."
