Postcards from Bangladesh is an unique and personal account of Bangladesh as seen through the eyes of three creative professionals - Sudeep Sen, Tanvir, and Kelley Lynch - from three different countries. The book revolves around the idea and metaphor of a postcard - snapshots, snippets of life in one place that capture a moment in time - reflecting something larger about the culture as a whole. It is not meant to be encyclopedic or all-inclusive. Rather, it portrays what Bangladesh means to them from an alternate focal point - things off the beaten track, aspects left out of final frames, unused notes scribbled in the margins - all forming the glue that binds the book together. Postcards from Bangladesh traces journeys both interior and exterior using prose, poetry, and photography to create a poetic documentary - a film in freeze-frames.The heart of Bengali culture - its sensibility and charm-is underscored in chapters that highlight the essential Bengali diet and livelihood provided by rice & fish; the unique six seasons of the Indian subcontinent, especially the monsoon rains; forests and trees; crafts and artifacts like rickshaw paintings; indigenous clothing like lungi and sari; the great rivers - the Padma, Meghna, Jamuna, and Buriganga; the nuances of religion; the bricks & mortar that form the country's architectural backbone; and Bangladesh's popular literature and music. All these seek to give the reader a sense of this country that is outside the purview of development manuals, disaster media stories, and government tourist guides.
