A "typical novoneel Chakraborty story".
Here is how the story progresses:
Let there be a, b, c, d,............ characters. 'a' loves 'b', 'b' marries some 'c', 'a' finds some 'd', 'd' cheats on some 'e' ,..... likewise the sequence of series goes on....... Finally manipulating the facts to give the ending what the author had predecided......
After reading the ending of the novel, I find it unsurprisingly similar to the novel 'black suits you'. Also the ending is quite inappropriate, because the punishment is justified to those who are guilt of crime but not to those, who are suffering from amnesia. Apart from the fact the person is not aware of any guilt he is charged with, the readers are left with ambiguity but with no strong proof so as to assist us to believe that the suspect might have committed any crime in actual place......

رمانی کوتاه و هیجانانگیز که مرا به ادبیات مدرن هند امیدوار کرد، هرچند نشانههایی از روایتها و قصهپردازیهای هندی را در خود داشت.
این کتاب را از سایت ایرانکتاب و در سفارشی که به عنوان عیدی برای خودم ثبت کرده بودم خریدم. آن زمان داشتم توی ایرانکتاب چرخی میزدم، که ناگهان توجهم به این قضیه جلب شد که تا به حال چیز زیادی از هند نخواندهام. فکر کنم بیشترین محتوای مرتبط با هندی که مطالعه کردهام، متون و اشعار کهن بودایی بوده است. و حس کردم جای ادبیات امروزیتر هند در کتابخانهام خالیست. این شد که کمی گشتم و یکی دو کتابی را که به نظر بهتر بودند و نقد و نظرات مثبتتری داشتند را به سبد خریدم اضافه کردم.
اما آن زمان چون درگیر چند کتاب دیگر بودم، این کتاب کوچک همینطور در گوشهای منتظر ماند تا خوانده شود.
شب پیش، با اینکه فکر میکردم اصلا جان و توان کافی برای خواندن ندارم، و ذهنم به خاطر بیماری بسیار مشوش بود، اما همراهی دوستی به نام «ر» در خوانش این کتاب خیلی کمک کرد که سرپا بمانم و کل کتاب را یکجا و در یک نشست بخوانم. البته کتاب خیلی کوچک و ماجرا خیلی کوتاه بود و میشد آن را به این سرعت خواند.
ابتدا فکر میکردم نیمی از آن را در یک نشست و نیم دیگرش را در نشست دوم (مثلا امشب) خواهیم خواند. اما داستان به قدری با روح و روانمان بازی کرده بود که احساس میکردیم اگر ولش کنیم قرار است تا فردا از همه کارها باز بمانیم و مدام در خیال ادامه داستان بمانیم. فلذا، فوقع ما وقع، و ما تمام کتاب را یکجا و یکنفس خواندیم.
ضمنا، ویراستاری کتاب هم مشکلات اندکی داشت. مثلا در جایی «او»، «اون» نوشته شده بود؛ و اشکالاتی از این دست. اما از آنجا که نشر سیزده به نظر نشر تازهکاری میآید، از این خطا گذشتم و بابتش نمرهای کسر نکردم. هرچند که کتاب بسیار کوتاه است و میشد جلوی چنین خطاهایی را گرفت...
( توجه: از همین لحظه به بعد، چفت و بست دهانم کمی لق خواهد شد، و خیلی چیزها از چند کتاب لو خواهند رفت. پس اگر با این قضیه مشکل دارید، از الان چفت و بست دستتان را محکم کنید و پایینتر نروید!)
کتاب با یادآوری اولشخص حادثهای که به مرگ کاشیکا منتهی شده بود، به عنوان پیشگفتار آغاز میشود. به همین خاطر حس میکنید که باید خواننده رمانی در خصوص گذر از مرگ عزیزان باشید.
اما کمکم میفهمید راوی آنقدرها هم قابلاعتماد نیست و به نظر میرسد که مشکلاتی در تشخیص آدمهای دیگر دارد و خیالات برش داشته.
از لحاظ روایی کمی حس و حال «باشگاه مشتزنی» را داشت، اما در دو نکته تفاوتهایی وجود داشت:
۱. تفاوت مشکل روانی شخصیتهای اصلی
۲. پایانبندی کتاب
در «باشگاه مشتزنی» هرچند که شخصیت اصلی در پایان بستری میشود، اما همچنان اعضای پروژه میهم با او ملاقات میکنند و عمل شجاعانهای را که به انجام رسانده بود میستایند. اما در «قرمز بهت میاد» شخصیت اصلی بستری میشود تا تنها بماند، و این جزای کارهاییست که سالها مشغول انجامشان بوده.
اگر بخواهیم از منظر اخلاقی نقدی را مطرح کرده باشیم، هر دو شخصیت اعمال خرابکارانهای را صورت داده بودند، اما یکی (راوی گمنام باشگاه مشتزنی و رفیقش، تایلر دردن) خرابکاریهایش را با هدف آزادی بشر از بندهای زندگی مدرن و بردگی برای شرکتهای بزرگ ترتیب میداده، و دیگری دقیقا همه خرابکاریها و جنایتهایش را برای کسب پول و ثروت بیشتر صورت میداده است.
اما اینکه در نهایت هر دو راهی یک مقصد مشترک میشوند، نکتهای جالب است.
«باشگاه مشتزنی» روایتی در بستر اجتماعی آمریکاست که به قول خودش، مصرفگرایی در آن بسیار زیاد شده، و مردم چربیهایشان را با عملهای خاصی از تنشان خارج میکنند تا بتوانند باز به همان زندگی نکبتبار ادامه دهند؛ و در «قرمز بهت میاد» روایت در بستر جامعه دچار اختلاف طبقاتی شدید و پرجمعیت هند است، که بسیاری را به جنایت و مسیرهای خلاف سوق میدهد تا بتوانند خودشان را از باتلاق کف جامعه بالا بکشند. (باتلاقی که شاید در کتاب «روزهای برمه» از جورج اورول بتوان بیشتر لمسش کرد، هرچند در زمان متفاوتی نوشته شده بوده است.)
نکته دیگر سوءاستفاده شخصیت اصلی از جامعه سنتی هند است. جامعهای که به علت بینشی که نسبت به فقر در خودش سراغ دارد، ترجیح میدهد به سادگی دخترانش را به افراد ثروتمند بدهد، تا از تباهی زندگیشان جلوگیری کرده باشد؛ و بعد هم به سادگی در مقابل بسیاری از جنایتها سکوت میکند، چون خودش را محق نمیداند. در حالی که جریان «باشگاه مشتزنی» شکستن سنتها و عادتهای زندگی و پیدا کردن مسیر زندگی واقعی خارج از چرخه کسب و مصرف است.
سبک نوشتاری داستان، بسیار برایم جالب بود. نویسنده در پایان هر فصل (کل کتاب ۱۰ فصل است) به خوبی خواننده را شوکه میکند و ذهن او را درگیر تجزیه و تحلیل اتفاقات میکند. به همین خاطر هم نمیتوان به سادگی کتاب را کنار گذاشت.
شوکهکنندگی کتاب نه به خاطر صرف پایان بسیار متفاوت آن، بلکه به خاطر ناآگاهی خواننده از اصل وقایع است. یعنی تمام داستان در فضایی تاریک و مهآلود پیش میرود که ما در هر صفحه چراغقوهمان را به سمت یکی از نکاتی که نویسنده مطرح کرده میگیریم. برای همین هم هر چیزی میتواند باعث شوکه شدنمان بشود.
این موضوع به بحث جالبی بین من و «ر» تبدیل شد، و بد نیست کمی از حرفهایمان را در اینجا مطرح کنم:
وقتی اثری مثل «مکبث» را میخوانیم، میبینیم که شکسپیر همه آنچه رخ خواهد داد را در پیشگویی ساحرهها به ما نشان داده است. با این حال، ما در نهایت شوکه میشویم، چون انتخابهای این شخصیت منتهی به رخداد همان پیشگوییها میشوند.
یا وقتی کتابی مثل شاهنامه را میخوانیم، اتفاقات هستند که باعث شوکه شدن ما میشوند. حوادثی که تقریبا ورای انتخابهای شخصی شخصیتها رخ میدهند. برای مثال میتوان به عنصر شوکهکنندگی در داستان «رستم و سهراب» اشاره کرد. (اتفاقی که بعدها باعث ایجاد رابطه پدر و پسری بین رستم و سیاوش میشود!) فردوسی فقط یکی از نکات داستان را تبدیل به راز کرده است، و بعد از طریق همان راز است که شوک را به مخاطب وارد میکند.
اما در این کتاب، همهچیز مثل راز است. به همین خاطر هم هست که مخاطب مدام در پایان هر فصل دچار شوک نسبت به صحنه تازه، تردید نسبت به همه اجزای پیشین داستان، و هیجانزده برای درک ادامه آن میشود.
ناامیدکنندهترین بخش کتاب، که من هم بابت همان یک ستاره از امتیازش کسر کردم، بخش پایانی است، که مثل امضای فیلم و داستانهای هندی است: همه شخصیتها در یکجا گرد هم میآیند (حتی شخصیتهای مرده!)، و بعد تمام ماجرای اصلی مثل خلاصهای از زندگی، که میگویند دم مرگ برای آدم روی دور تند پخش میشود، را شرح میدهند. بدتر اینکه سعی میکنند نتیجهگیری اخلاقی را هم توی صورت شخصیت اصلی و بهخصوص مخاطب بکوبند، انگار که نسبت به درک خواننده هیچ اعتمادی ندارند.
البته میشود به شخصیتهای فرعی داستانها هم ایرادی را وارد کرد که در فیلمهای هندی زیاد مشابهش را میبینیم: شخصیتهای فرعی طوری رفتار میکنند که انگار در خدمت شخصیتهای اصلی هستند. کاری را میکنند که آنها میگویند و انگار هیچ توضیحی هم بابتش لازم ندارند. انگار یاد گرفتهاند که برده اشخاص دیگر باشند، و این بخشی از زندگیشان است؛ یا آنقدر کندذهن هستند که هیچ جواب بهتری پیدا نمیکنند و فقط ترجیح میدهند زودتر بروند خانه و برنامههای صداوسیما یا تصویر زنده کعبه را ببینند.
برای مثال وقتی که کاناو توی استارباکس با زنی مواجه میشود که دستخط کاشیکا را روی زمین میاندازد و میرود، او خیلی شوکه میشود. همهجا را میگردد و بعد از یکی از مغازهداران اطراف میپرسد که زنی را ندیده که از استارباکس خارج شده باشد؟ و مغازهدار که انگار حوصلهاش از این سؤال سر رفته باشد، میگوید «نه!» در حالی که قاعدتا باید زنهای زیادی را در حال رفتوآمد به استارباکس دیده باشد، مگر اینکه رفتن زنها به استارباکس در هند آنقدر کم باشد که چیز نادری محسوب شود و او فرصت دیدن زن تنهایی را که از استارباکس بیرون میآمده از دست داده باشد...
اینکه کاناو، یک مهندس نرمافزار بوده، نکته جالب توجه دیگری برای من بود. یادم است که در دوران دانشجویی شنیده بودم بیشترین تعداد برنامهنویسها و مهندسین نرمافزار متعلق به هند بوده است.
حالا وقتی اینجا با شخصیتی مواجه شدم که مهندس نرمافزاری به دنبال کار جدید میگردد، خیلی به نظرم بامزه آمد. چون حس میکردم آنقدر افراد زیادی مشغول این کار هستند که کار به این آدم نمیرسد. (هرچند در پایان تازه میفهمیم که چرا کاناو نمیتواند کار پیدا کند...)
در پشت کتاب نقلقولی از سایت AllReadingWorld در معرفی آن آمده که میگوید: «کتاب «قرمز بهت میاد» روزت رو میسازه.» اما به نظرم این کتاب بیشتر قادر به ساخت کابوس شبمان بود!!!
این کتاب را از سایت ایرانکتاب و در سفارشی که به عنوان عیدی برای خودم ثبت کرده بودم خریدم. آن زمان داشتم توی ایرانکتاب چرخی میزدم، که ناگهان توجهم به این قضیه جلب شد که تا به حال چیز زیادی از هند نخواندهام. فکر کنم بیشترین محتوای مرتبط با هندی که مطالعه کردهام، متون و اشعار کهن بودایی بوده است. و حس کردم جای ادبیات امروزیتر هند در کتابخانهام خالیست. این شد که کمی گشتم و یکی دو کتابی را که به نظر بهتر بودند و نقد و نظرات مثبتتری داشتند را به سبد خریدم اضافه کردم.

Red suits you is a small, gripping and thrilling read which was released around Diwali time in 2018.
While this is not the first book by author Novoneel Chakraborty, it is the first one by him which any of our team members got a chance to read. And, I, as a reader like the way the book is written. Of course, there are some of the scenes in the second half which could have bee better, but, as an entire package, the book remains true to its promise.
Let us take a bird's eye view of the book plot:
The story belongs to Kanav Raghuvanshi. Kanav is living his life in quite a desperate state. Actually, he lost his fiancee some time ago and he cannot get over it. He is seeking professional services of Anahita Sengupta (psychiatrist) and it seems that his life is getting closer to the right track.
One day, Anahita suggests him to go for a get together by a dating community where he may possibly find someone. If the things go properly then he may find love again and it may provide him relief from the grief and sadness he is succumbed into!
Kanav started feeling the presence of his fiancee around him. Especially in the adjacent flat in his apartment. A chain of incidents happens in such a way that we cannot find him wrong also!
But how can a dead person come back?
Is this book a ghost story? Does it explore paranormal stuff? Well, it is a small read which is available less than Rs. 16 and available as a Kindle EBook only; so you can surely try it :).
Views and Reviews:
Writing a short story is a walk on a tightrope. Here you cannot take time to build the things. The book should be interesting from the beginning and should run at a comparatively fast pace.
The way the characters are explored is interesting. Over the course of events, we see layers of their character are being explored in a gripping manner. The first half of the book shows a modern environment and genuine feelings while the second part has more thrills, twists, and turns.
The author has a good vocabulary and he weaves his words nicely into sentences. The characters are strong and gender doesn’t play any role in the same. Despite the book falling into crime-fiction genre, there is no adult content, which is good.
Actually, there are more attributes we can talk about by giving some specific examples, but I want to avoid spoilers as much as possible, so let us stop here.
Summary:
The book is a nice, short, engaging thriller.
Rating:
Around 7.5 out of 10.

My Review - Red Suits You is a psychological thriller, it's a big Dhamaka in small package. So down to the point what did I like & what I didn't like, let's get strated-
I liked - I am a big fan of thriller novels, thriller stories and this story hits the mark, the story is fast paced, with lots of mind boggling plot twists, despite of short in size the story doesn't loses its thrill. The story is good for beginners as short in size they can read the book and savor it's flavor easily, now an important side is the price of the book , Penguin has priced it just Rs- 15/-, just imagine a NOVONEEL CHAKRABORTY BOOK you will get under Rs-20/- isn't it wonderful. The book is available in both Google book and Amazon.
I Disliked - The characters building was not impressive, due to size issue everything, everyone, every event are happening in a haste, this haste hampers with the readers as they will have tough time to understand the characters , the events and the plot twists which are happening, it is like you are getting to know a character and understanding it's motive and at that time climax hits & curtains starts to fall shows over, this will make the readers mind wanting a little bit more from the story.
Overall review - it is a time conserving, money efficient, beginners friendly book , highly recommend all to go for it.
Rating - 3.5 / 5⭐
Ending Note - Firstly I want to tell you all that I am a very big fan of NOVONEEL CHAKRABORTY and this psychological thriller is an awesome gift to all the NOVO FANS like me who are out their.
So stop reading the reviews and start reading the story.

Red Suits You by Novoneel Chakraborty revolves around the life of Kanav Raghuwanshi who has gone into depression after losing his fiancé Kashika to an accident and he has been trying to move on with the help of his therapist Anahita Sengupta who suggest him to start dating to get over her fiancé, but his life takes a twist when a new neighbor shifts into his apartment.
The cover page is quite appealing and after finishing the story one can understand why it is named as “Red Suits You”.
This is story has quite a similar climax to Black suits you written by the same author and anyone who has read the later book can guess the end as well. The language is quite simple and the characters are good but the book wasn’t full of many suspense elements as one usually finds in Novoneel Chakraborty books. Red suits you is a small read associated with love, passion, betrayal, and revelations.

This is a short psychological thriller of 44 pages. The language used is easy and the book can easily be completed in one sitting.
The story is about Kanav who lost his fiance, Kashika in an accident and now, he is mentally depressed with her memories. He started seeking to therapist, Anahita. His life started moving on track when suddenly he came to know that Kashika is still alive. He started getting some clues by which he came to know that his fiance is still alive. Or is he imagining everything?
This story is full of mind blowing twists which will keep you hooked till the end. Though I still didn't liked the second half of the book that much but the message passed at the end is impressive. Read out this book if you are looking for a short read in thrillers with outstanding twists and turns.

Good narrative, thrilling experience.
This is the first Novoneel book I have read and I found the storytelling style very gripping and entertaining. Novoneel Chakraborty has nailed short form thriller which keeps you guessing and still manages to surprise you with the twist and turns.
The storyline continuity could have been better, but the plot overall worked well.
The end of the story unfolds with a total surprise, it has the attributes of a good thriller.
Impressive narrative, and short and quick read. It is worth your time and money.

It was a quick read, a novella. I like Novoneel's books, the psychological element in his stories. Initially, this story was intriguing and gripping but then it felt rushed, like the author wanted to finish it quickly. Plus, there is no proof of the crime mentioned in story. Just because two people are saying...there has to be some clue for the readers as well.

Just the way I like it
First of all it's Novoneel Chakraborty . Come on! You should read it just on the basis of that. While for the story. It's just awesome. Given that it is a short story it's not that enjoyable as his full novels are. But it is good enough to make your head spin.And in a good way ❤️

A short psychological thriller.
A man who has recently lost is wife in an accident is under the treatment of a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist is asking him to get out of it by going out on a date. She finally pushes him to go to venue where a fast dating has been arrived for. He finds a match and they go out a couple of times.
The man starts seeing signs of his dead wife appearing. He seeks help from psychiatrist. He is greeted by people whom he has no recollection of seeing and they refer to him by a different name too. He is totally confused.
Read the book to see what happens next.
Probably a tame ending, but a decent read.

Like a dream, anything is happening anywhere.
Please try any other title, and dave your precious time. Novoneel is no doubt highly motivated and of the best Indian authors as of now, this book lacks his tatse.

Review: The Book is the quickest thriller for you to read. The story is all about Kanav Raghuwanshi coping with the loss of his fiance. But few things happen around him, but are they real or the work of his imagination is what the story revolves around.
The positives of the book is its ending. Though you can predict what it will end with but why is a huge game-changer.
I couldn’t find any negatives. Though disappointed that it is a short read.
Overall I liked what I read.
Ratings: 5 out of 5

Okayish
Name doesn't go well along with the story. Plan was amazing but i felt it was little predictable. Few things also didn't justify well. It was out of the line from the story line
