Comms and digital media by day transforms into a comics/media researcher at twilight words @scroll_in | ex-publicist of books

2nd excerpt slide: "The cold opening is a walking essay (or an essay on walking) that holds the key to reading this renewed Sarnath, whose returning protagonist, the tonsured Brighu, does more than stand in for his maker’s perambulations. Sincerely walking in Banerjee’s shoes, Brighu narrates a version of his life that pits the history of a devolving nation and an increasingly fracturing world order against the nostalgia of an artistic life ensconced in Delhi’s many comforts and community, while also rocked by the necessity of chasing different forms of existence in a new(er) India."
creative showing the review on an instagram-like ux, with text as follows (and some elements from the Sarnath Banerjee graphic novel being discussed, like a cheetah): new review, on Scroll.in Absolute Jafar by Sarnath Banerjee (book cover excerpt) text: "Absolute Jafar is Sarnath’s first long-form graphic novel in over a decade. The enfant terrible of Indian comics has instead returned with a book that is simultaneously a love story, a family saga, a walking tour of four cities, and a stealth manifesto on what the Indian graphic novel might still become if it stopped trying to be respectable." text: "link in bio | slide for excerpts"
