Goodbye Sumanta Dey: Writer Richa Jha mourns the loss of her artist collaborator to Covid-19
Sumnata Dey illustrated Richa Jha’s vastly popular and award-winning book for children, ‘Macher Jhol’. Sumanta Dey and a section of his artwork for Macher Jhol .
It’s been some hours since I got to know of Sumanta Dey’s death. Sumanta was not family. He wasn’t a friend either. And I have met him once for about five hours. Twice, actually, if we add a cab ride from the airport to the hotel earlier that day.
The first time we exchanged email was on August 10, 2017. Not that long ago, when you think of it.
