"Born in 1934 in Faridpur, now in Bangladesh, Sunil Gangopadhyay came as a refugee to Calcutta in 1947, following the partition of India.
The family suffered extreme poverty initially and Sunil, though only in his teens, was forced to find employment.
He still managed to continue his education, taking his master’s degree from Calcutta University. Sunil Gangopadhyay began his literary career as a poet, starting the epoch-making magazine, Kittitas, in 1953.
Storming into the field of the novel with the trendsetting Atman Prakash (1966)—a powerful portrayal of the frustration and ennui of the youth of Calcutta—he soon rose to become the leading and most popular novelist in Bengali.
Sei Some (1982), which won him the Sahitya Akademie Award, Pura Paschim (1989) and Prothom Aloo (1996) are among his best novels."

A translation of Sunil Genopathy’s novel Shorter Niche Manish, At Heaven's Gates weaves itself around the characters of Bhatti, Ranjan, and Prasenjit. It starts one afternoon and ends the next.
And in the short span of time, with just three actors on the stage of his story, Sunil Genopathy succeeds in recreating every human instinct--both personal and social.
