Amit Chaudhuri’s A Strange and Sublime Address is lauded for its lyrical prose and vivid depiction of Calcutta life. Critics applaud its evocative writing and attention to detail in ordinary moments. However, some feel the narrative lacks a substantial plot, which may not appeal to readers seeking a dynamic storyline. Overall, its strength lies in its atmospheric and nuanced storytelling.
