यार जादूगर
‘यार जादूगर’ हिंदी साहित्य की मुख्य धारा के उपन्यासों में विषय-वस्तु के लिहाज से एकदम नया और चौंकाने वाली कहानी है। कल्पना की जमीन पर बोया गया ऐसा यथार्थ जो मानवीय संबंधों और उसके मनोविज्ञान पर दार्शनिकता की गाँठ खोलता रेशा-रेशा उघाड़ते हुए एक प्राकृतिक शाश्वत सत्य के समीप पहुँच पूर्ण होता है।
‘यार जादूगर’ मृत्यु का महोत्सव है और जीवन का लोक संगीत भी, जो मृत्यु की अनिवार्यता को स्वीकार कर जीवन की सार्थकता को मलंग हो स्वीकार करने की कोशिश है।

Amazing writing, and beautifully portrayed story.
It's a must read. निलोत्पाल जी का लेखन बिल्कुल मुंशी प्रेमचन्द जी द्वारा रचित गांवों की याद दिलाता है , उन्हें नए भारत का मुंशी प्रेमचन्द कहना गलत नहीं होगा।
इस क़िताब में जीवन और मृत्यु को लेकर कही गई बातें मन को छू जाती हैं। इस किताब को पढ़ने के बाद जीवन से और अधिक प्रेम हो जाना निश्चित ही है।

A splendid book that holds the curiosity of the user from beginning to end. The ending feels like I am reading a chapter of Bhagwat Gita. Nilotpal Mrinal has mixed political satire with magic and mythology very well.

अंत और बेहतर हो सकता था पर इसके सिवाय इस पुस्तक में सब कुछ बढ़िया रहा।
मृणाल सर का बेसब्री से इंतजार था और ये रचना खरी उतरी।
कहानी के किरदार आपको अपने करीब लगेंगे और कहानी दिल को छू जाएगी।
कुल मिला कर ये एक बेहतरीन रचना है।

This book delivers a village story the way Niloptal ji would, the whole village spills its secrets in its own tongue. Each villager stays exactly who they’ve always been, sharing only what makes them, them. Their traditions and little quirks shine on every page!
You’ll flip pages fast for the same reason you open the fridge and hope something nice is there, you need that one more taste. The ending looms, unsaid hints flash like drunk fireflies. If it lands where your heart has been aiming, congratulations, your book shelf just grew an heir!
“Yaar Jadugar” combines magic realism with real life elements, creating a mysterious atmosphere. The story explores the intricacies of human relationships, especially friendships, showcasing the strength of camaraderie and loyalty. The book also explores deeper themes like life, death, and the meaning of existence, adding richness to the story!
You won’t need a translator, the village tongue is light and never pretentious. Flip-flopped mysteries and careful, slip-in thrills. When the last page nudges you to feel the world and the next village that world might lift into the morning mist, the story feels like a whole new lens. It is, without contest, a keeper!
I just finished a story that feels ageless. From the first page, the suspense pulled me right in, almost like I was standing in the shadow, watching everything unfold. The conversations at the tea stall buzzed with everyday life, and the back-and-forth between the cops felt so real that I could almost hear the paper-and-ink of the case files flicking open and closed. I ended up sitting down and finishing the whole book in a single night; I couldn’t stop. I can honestly say this book deserves a spot on every book lover’s shelf!

Have you watched Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain?
I had a deja vu after finishing this book. The story and narration are so good that even though mysterious things are happening, there is almost no loophole to kill the suspense or bring the thrill even slightly down. The story grips you completely and it is almost impossible to put the book down before finishing it. Even when you are not reading it, the story occupies your mind and you keep thinking what will happen next and how it will end.
The beginning and the journey till end are so top notch that you get this feel that the end will inevitably be a downer or a mixed experience at best. And if the end delivers, you know you have read maybe one of the best books ever. Well, I will only say that the end feels rushed and definitely could be better.
मृत्यु एक सरल रेखा है, जीवन घुमावदार रास्ता। मृत्यु एक सुलझा हुआ धागा है पर जीवन उलझे हुए धागों का समूह।
जिसे कोई चमत्कार नहीं सुलझा सकता !
Highly recommended for the journey the book takes you on, even if the end is not as solved as the above quote claims.

रोचक और रोमांचक
ऐसी कहानियां बहुत कम लिखी जाती है जिसमें रहस्य और रोमांच की प्रस्तुति इतनी खूबसूरती से हो l भाषा आंचलिक और बहुत सहज l उपन्यास के अंत में जीवन और मृत्यु का दर्शन उपन्यास को एक उत्कृष्ट धरातल पर ले जाता है l

जीवन और मरण का इससे अद्भुत दर्शन शायद ही किसी लेखन में मिलेगा।

Hindi is not my mother tongue, and it's the first Hindi novel I completed , and it was worth the read !!

For that one mystery I read the whole book.
I would say in a long time I have liked a hindi book, usually I am very harsh on Hindi books, cause nobody writes anything deep or memorable anymore, everyone wants to be Chetan Bhagat.
Book is fairly average, plot is just a device to catapult writer's own bias and allows him to take political shots which is ok I guess but it's there.
