But in spite of it all, Jyotimoy Mazumdar manages to show off his skills as a raconteur. He may not have the life experiences of Sulman Rushdie or the literary command of Edward Albee but he’s a young and enthusiastic college student from Assam and he has something to say. And for a fellow college undergraduate, that will be intriguing enough to make him or her want to pick up a copy.
Did She Love Me? will appeal to a very specific group of readers. Older readers will, in all honesty, find nothing new in this book because, they’ve lived it and are past the age where they can relate to it. But for other section of Indian readers, the ones who don’t have to come back home to a crying baby and an angry spouse, Did She Love Me? will find its takers there.
