Our Chores

Published in 2026

SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. And that elsewhere is here, my book, Our Chores. Avant-garde? No, my bourgeois readers. Avant-garde means "ahead of time" in French, and this book is rather in English, written by a Bengali, and doesn't whatsoever have a university's seal on it saying "Postmodern." So, what Our Chores rather must be is a set of, yes, chores, a set divided cleanly into four quick chores, the everyday, uneventful work of the 21st century. And a string of uneventful work makes for a whole event. And that event is, make no mistake, the exact plot of Our Chores, aside from also being its label or category, the Chore category, yes. Space. Space is what you'll get out of this book, though not entirely vacant. It will be infused with plenty of small particles that might look like people and places and could very well seem foreign, but you must squint to see clearly. Other than that, Our Chores will keep the knots of your tangled mind untouched, so you can untangle it yourself. And after doing so, you will feel good. Feeling good is all that should matter. You must be wondering, and so here's the list of qualifications you need in order to understand this book: naught. Whether or not you think rigid grammar and flawless spelling are the only things that matter in true literature, Our Chores will wait for you. Whether or not you care about literature as an art form in the first place, Our Chores will wait for you. The "Our" means you and me. Now, let me ask you, why SHOULDN'T you buy Our Chores? See? You don't have a good reason. As they say, better to buy Our Chores than starve. Note: Intended for adult readers. Our Chores is written and revised from April 2023 to December 2025.
