The Rising Asia Literary Circle | Nautch Boy by Manish Gaekwad

Описание: Rising Asia Literary Circle proudly presents the launch of author Manish Gaekwad’s powerful memoir Nautch Boy

Held on Monday, December 1, at The Bhawanipur House, Kolkata, this literary event centers on Nautch Boy, a deeply moving memoir that explores identity, memory, and lived experience in the cultural heart of Kolkata.

The session features Dr. Julie Banerjee Mehta, panelists, and participants in conversation with Manish Gaekwad, whose extraordinary life story unfolds from growing up in a kotha in Kolkata, where his mother was the last courtesan. The memoir offers rare insight into vanished worlds, inherited legacies, social marginality, and resilience—making it a vital contribution to contemporary Indian literature and memoir writing.

This book launch and discussion is essential viewing for audiences interested in Indian literature, memoir writing, cultural history, gender studies, and South Asian social narratives.
