Zunayed Evan's novel "Shesh" holds the bestseller tag in the novel category


Zunayed Evan, vocalist of the popular band Ashes, has come up with his first novel ‘Shesh’. Prior to its release, the novel redefined the concept of pre-ordering by breaking all previous records in Rokmari, the country's largest online book store. And, after its much-anticipated release during the Amar Ekushey Book Fair-2021, "Shesh" is now Rokomari's best-selling novel. The online book selling shop, recently shared this information through a post on social media. The novel "Shesh" was published by Kingbodonti Publications. 

The book's third edition has also been released in response to reader demand. Speaking about "Shesh", Anjan Hasan Paban, the proprietor of Kingbodonti Publications said, “Readers are collecting the book with great enthusiasm. The book has also topped the bestseller list in the novel category ever since its release. The cover of the book is designed by Sanchita Das.”

The author of the book, Zunayed Evan says, "Writing has been a habit since childhood. I never thought of putting them in the form of literature. The sound that makes my ears deaf, I wanted to give a melody to that sound. I leave it to the readers whether I have successfully done it or not."

In regards to the novel's content, Zunayed Evan said, "I wanted to write about some different moments, but stories of the same time. At the beginning of the story, we see a writer named Shihab, whose writing is about converting illusion, delusion and hallucination into fiction. One day he tells his roommate Hasan to commit suicide. At one stage of the discussion, a kind of agreement takes place between them. As a result, Hasan goes out of the house to buy ropes to commit suicide, but he comes back with an aquarium. Thus, the tale progresses based on the plot.”
