Empty Jar and The Jam Boy is a work of historical fiction in which the “Empty Jar” metaphorically resembles the behemoth province of Bengal in colonial India. Once at the height of its dominance, the region attracted global traders with its enormous wealth, millennia of civilisation, fertile soil, skilled labourers, master craftsmen, legendary textiles, and thriving global trade. Yet, it was ultimately left empty by successive invasions, loots, famines, and partitions. Meanwhile, “The Jam Boy” refers to a dark piece of folklore from colonial Calcutta that is still recalled with sadness at upper-crust Bengali champagne, caviar and mango parties across the globe.
