Labyrinth

This is the story of a photographer who liked to see things differently. It is also the story of a writer who heard voices wherever she went. It is the story of how his photos and her words came together to pay homage to people living in Dhaka’s largest slum colony: Korail. However, this is no sad story. Taking the reader in and out of narrow winding alleys, Munize Manzur and Arif Hafiz show us how humans are neither confounded by geography nor confided by it. Aptly titled, this book explores a unique labyrinth of suffering and triumph; of love and prejudice; of ultimate co-existence. It salutes the indefatigable human spirit that always finds a way out.
