Absolute Jafar - Between Cities and Memory with Sarnath Banerjee

In this episode, Sarnath Banerjee joins Manjula Narayan to explore the reflective and deeply personal world of Absolute Jafar—where memory, migration, cities, and identity intertwine through storytelling, observation, and visual narrative. Centered around Absolute Jafar, the conversation moves through the experience of living between places, the emotional distance that reshapes how we remember cities like Delhi and Berlin, the quiet process of forgetting and reclaiming personal histories, and the role of storytelling in preserving fleeting sensations of time, place, and belonging. At its heart, the discussion reflects on what it means to carry one’s past across borders—and how art helps us hold on to what might otherwise fade. 📚 About the Book Absolute Jafar is a contemplative graphic narrative that follows lives shaped by migration, family histories, and shifting geographies. Moving between Delhi, Berlin, and inherited memories of elsewhere, the book blends personal reflection, cultural observation, and visual storytelling to examine borders, belonging, and the fragile idea of “home.” Through humour, tenderness, and layered imagery, Sarnath Banerjee crafts a meditation on cities, identity, and the subtle ways time transforms how we remember our own lives. 👉 Buy the Book You can find the book here: https://www.amazon.in/Absolute-Jafar-... 🔔 Subscribe to Books & Authors for more conversations that delve into literature, ideas, cultural memory, and the intellectual journeys behind books that reshape how we understand society, history, and ourselves. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00:00 – Introduction & origins of Absolute Jafar 00:07:40 – Moving to Berlin & distance from Delhi 00:15:20 – Memory, forgetting, and holding onto experiences 00:23:00 – Cities, enchantment, and emotional geography 00:30:40 – Migration, identity, and personal histories 00:38:20 – Visual storytelling & the graphic narrative form 00:46:00 – Writing process and shaping the book 00:53:40 – Final reflections & closing thoughts #BooksAndAuthors #ManjulaNarayan #SarnathBanerjee #AbsoluteJafar #GraphicNovel #IndianAuthors #Migration #Identity #Cities #bookdiscussion
