Bangabandhu's autobiography a literary addition

The recently appeared autobiography of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is a new literary contribution to Bangla literature, Dr Akbar Ali Khan, former adviser to a caretaker government, said yesterday.
"The Unfinished Memoirs" or "Oshomapto Atyojiboni" unveiled a great story-teller within a great leader, he told a book review programme at the capital's Bangla Academy.
"In this book, the narrator, unlike regular authors, laid stress on self-criticism rather than self-promotion. I wonder how he recollected decades-old events before he put them in words," he said.
Veteran journalist Ataus Samad said the book revealed some untold stories of Sheikh Mujib's life and others that he wrote in jail.
Mujahidul Islam Selim, general secretary of Communist Party of Bangladesh, elaborated on Sheikh Mujib's poetic style of narrating memories.
Professor Emeritus Anisuzzaman, who chaired the programme, termed the autobiography a great historical document of politics and a pointer to the future for the citizens of Bangladesh.
