Synopsis : The “Middleman”, set in Calcutta (now Kolkata) of the 70s, is the story of a young man, Somnath Banerjee's search for job during the mid-70s when thousands of educated young men and women queued up at the employment bureaux in search of jobs. Unable to find one despite his education, Somnath decides to get into the order-supply business as a middleman. His ambition drives him to use an “innocent girl” as a bait for contract that will secure the future of Somnath Enterprises. As Somnath grows from an idealistic young man to a corrupt businessman, the book becomes a macabre portrait of the price the city extracts from its youth. “Chowringhee and Jana Aranya (The Middleman) both had a universality about them. They reflected the Indian situation as it was then and as it is now. Time has not been able to bite the reality. Probably, that's the reasons why both the books have been carried to the world,” Sankar said. Seventy-six-year-old Sankar, who started off as a writer in the fifties, shot to fame with “Chowringhee” and “The Middleman”. It was followed by a spate of books that spanned over two decades. Sankar is now working on two biographies- one on seer Aurobindo and another on Swami Vivekananda. The Middleman is the highest selling Bengali novel of all time having crossed the quarter million mark, says the writer.
