“Jiboner Shilalipi”, Kazi Shahid Ahmed’s autobiography, would attract readers for its humour and simplicity of language, speakers at a discussion programme said yesterday.
Mohit Ul Alam, vice chancellor of Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University, said the book was full of humour, which would attract readers.
“While reading the book, I burst into laughter several times. And at a stretch, I read 180 pages out of around 550 pages of the book,” Mohit said at the programme, held at the auditorium of the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB) in the capital’s Dhanmondi area.
The book was released on February 15 through a function at the Bangla Academy auditorium.
Mohit also noted that the book was not only an autobiography, but also a real picture of society.
Among others, president of ULAB’s board of trustees, Kazi Shahid Ahmed, ULAB Emeritus Professor Rafiqul Islam and ULAB Vice Chancellor Imran Rahman addressed the programme. Writer and professor, Niaz Zaman, was the chief guest, but she did not make any remarks.
