About the Book

Natabari Nursery (Bengali Version) is a provocative Bengali collection featuring two novellas set in a post-apocalyptic world—a future imagined after collapse, where humanity reshapes itself in unsettling ways.

In the first novella, the author envisions a dystopian society where the state installs rape kiosks for survivors—machines that dispense medicines and food at the press of a button. The same world offers painless suicide chambers, while men and women gradually shrink—becoming “nata”—until the planet itself turns into the eerie Natabari Nursery.

The second novella, Na-Purusher Prithibi, imagines a future where men are reduced to a single function: reproduction—stripped of all other roles. This audacious premise is driven by a relentless cascade of events that intensifies the moral unease.

Bold, unsettling, and relentlessly paced, both novellas are unputdownable—once you begin, it’s hard to stop. Blending fierce imagination with social commentary, Natabari Nursery will captivate readers who seek speculative fiction, dystopia, and thought-provoking Bengali literature that challenges comfort zones and sparks debate.
