যে-কথা বলোনি আগে
খুব বেশিদিন উপন্যাস লিখছেন না শ্রীজাত। কিন্তু ইতিমধ্যেই পাঠকমহল তাঁর কলমে পেয়েছে অন্য ধারার গদ্য, নতুন ভাবনার প্রকাশ। সেই স্রোতেই সংযুক্ত হল তাঁর এবারের উপন্যাস ‘যে-কথা বলোনি আগে’। ধ্বংসের সম্ভাবনার মুখোমুখি দাঁড়িয়ে এই গ্রহ যখন হঠাত্ই মেতে ওঠে গোপন কথা বলার খেলায়, ব্যক্তি থেকে সমষ্টির জীবনছবি ভাঙচুর হয়ে যেতে থাকে লহমায়। এই আপাতনিরীহ অথচ বিপজ্জনক খেলার আবর্তে জড়িয়ে যায় অর্ক’র জীবন। ঘটনাক্রমে প্রভাবিত হয় আরশি’র বেঁচে থাকাও। বহুস্তরীয় এই উপন্যাস শেষমেশ বলে এক নিরুচ্চার প্রেমের রূপকথা, যার পরতে পরতে ছড়ানো নিরীক্ষা ও নতুনত্বের বিস্ময়।বিষয় ও আঙ্গিক, দু’দিক থেকেই পাঠককে চমকে দেবে শ্রীজাত’র এই লেখা।

Interesting. Style of writing is impressive. Reader will connect different eras through some small incidents and objects as well as the story is very elegant.
But in my opinion characterisation are weak. It could be more clear.

The first half of this book is breezy and refreshing, presenting unique angles and cinematic descriptions. The cinephile in Srijato is apparent in the cinematic intercuts of similar frames tieing up time and space, and is very enjoyable.
However, the beginning of the second half, as two of the three secrets have been revealed, the repeated news coverages tend to break the flow of the plot due to undesired interruptions at poignant moments.
The moonlit ending in slow-motion, however, is sublime and is worthy of the high standards that the poet in Srijato had previously set.

অসম্ভব সুন্দর কবিতা লেখেন ভদ্রলোক, সাদামাটা ভাষায় , সোজা করে, আমাদের মতন বুদ্ধুরাও যেন বুঝতে পারি।
উপন্যাস, না।
