Every city tells two stories. I write the one it hides.

Kabir Sen writes literary fiction about cities, memory and the people history almost notices.

Three fictional stories

Books that remember
what cities forget.

Every storm leaves a map. Not every map wants to be found.

Seven letters. One railway platform. A country about to change.

First the signs went blank. Then the maps. Then memory.

From the journal

Essays on cities, memory, literature and the quiet details that outlive us.

On locked terraces, erased lanes and the architecture of selective memory.

A field note on departures, waiting rooms and stories that begin between destinations.

Letters from Kabir

New essays, reading notes and glimpses from works in progress. No noise.
