Biographical book[]

Main article: Man on Fire (Kelman novel)

His fictional biography[8] has been written by Stephen Kelman, Nominee of the 2011 Booker award for his novel, Pigeon English[9] which was released by Bloomsbury Publishing House on August 13, 2015 in 28 countries. The Book is titled Man on Fire.[4][10][11][12][13]

Bibhuti has a unique perspective on life and he is an inspirational force in the lives around him, and this is what I hoped to capture in Man on Fire.
