Shorir er Bhitar Shorir by Pracheta Gupta [Hardcover]

Does the body follow the mind's command? Or is there another body within the body? One that is independent, with its own separate mind. Only when that inner body responds does the outer body awaken. The desires of men and women find fulfillment. But it’s not just another body within the body; to whom does the body belong? Only to the living? Not to the dead? The protagonist of the story, Samyadeep, searches for answers. Even while being next to his wife Ujjayini, her body feels unfamiliar to him. He runs around morgues to recognize the dead body of his father's lover. Samyadeep repeatedly faces obstacles in the natural physical union of husband and wife due to his own self. In moments of intense emotion and feeling, the outer body rejects, waiting for the inner body to respond. In this tug-of-war of the body, the characters in the story face separation but also seek union. The inevitable question arises, is the body everything in life? Is there no such thing as the mind?
