| الملخص: | This thesis is divided into two parts: the first part consists of the creative component of this
thesis— Other Town— a novel, and the second part consists of the critical exegesis titled, “Private
Bodies, Public Desires: Space and the Transgressive Body.”
Other Town is the story of Lalee, a commercial sex worker in the red light district of
Shonagachhi, in Kolkata, India. When her next door neighbour, Mohamaya, is violently murdered
one January night, Lalee is drawn into a series of events that threaten her survival in Shonagachhi.
With limited resources and a varied cast of characters, ranging from an erotica writer, a pimp, a
printer, and several social workers, policemen and prostitutes, Lalee negotiates the boundaries of
freedom. |
