On an inauspicious day, while Abdul Jalil is on his way home from work, he is abducted by three men, put on a van and driven to a solitary detention center where he is interrogated, tortured for days and in the end, it can be assumed, taken out to be shot to death. His tale of being captured unexpectedly and by unknown assailants and later executed reminds one of the spiritual as well as socio-political crises narrated in Kafka's The Trial or Coetzee's The Life and Times of Michael K. Both Joseph K. and Michael K. are caught by forces beyond their ken and punished for crimes they have not committed. Both Kafka's K and Coetzee's Michael K. stand for the doomed man. The name Abdul Jalil by its commonness suggests a kind of non-entity in Bangladesh; there are thousands who bear this name. Yet, this name symbolizes a kind of anathema and becomes the factor for Abdul Jalil's annihilation. কম দেখান
