The Last Dragoners of Bowbazar

[psocoptera]

The Last Dragoners of Bowbazar, Indra Das, 2023 novella. This is gorgeous. A boy in Calcutta with a mysterious family history. Emigration and heritage and alienation and Fantasy literature and the desire for magic in the world and what it would actually mean to know about magic in the world, to be part of a small and hidden community. And the writing is beautiful. I think this one just went to the top of my 2023 novellas list.
