Indrajit Hazra is a novelist and journalist. His novels The Burnt Forehead of Max Saul (2000), The Garden of Earthly Delights (2003) and The Bioscope Man (2008) have been described by critics as "stamped by trenchant black humour" and "[original prose with] mad images hyperlinked to other mad images", one reviewer stating that "few (Bengali) writers writing in English are able to capture that sense of decay and temper it with that quintessential Bengali humour the way Hazra can". He is a columnist for various publications, including Hindustan Times where he writes 'Red Herring' every Sunday. He lives in New Delhi and is currently knee-deep working on his latest book that involves missing children and time travel. He blogs on and off on http://captain-bloodmoney.blogspot.in/
