In Domoruchorit, Troilokyonath Mukhopadhyay uses magic realism to weave sociopolitical realities of nineteenth-century Bengal: casteism, child marriage and widowhood, colonial oppression, Swadeshi movement. The stories celebrate the adda culture, carry the flavour of an old-world charm and male bonding, and are often conversational and digressive, being full of wit and satire.
