OccupationWriter
NationalityBangladeshi

Rizia Rahman (born December 28, 1939)[1] is a Bangladeshi novelist.[2] She has a number of novels and short stories to her credit. Her works cut across all genres. She is best known for the novel Bong Theke Bangla.[3] She is the recipient of Bangla Academy Literary Award (1978).[4] As of 2018, she has published more than 50 novels and short story collections in her long career.

Early Life

Rizia Rahman was born on December 28, 1939 in Bhabanipur, Kolkata.[1] Her family moved to Bangladesh, then known as East Bengal, after the 1947 Partition of India.[1] She began writing stories at the age of 8 and was published for the first time when she was 12.[5] Her stories and poems appeared in newspapers such as Satyajug and Sangbad.[6] Rahman studied at the University of Dhaka and graduated with a Master of Social Sciences in Economics.[6]

Career

Rahman published her first collection of short stories, Agni Shakkora, while studying at the University of Dhaka.[6] Her novel Bong Theke Bangla was published in 1978 to critical acclaim, exploring the evolution of Bangladesh's nationality and language.[1] Her fourth novel, Rokter Okkhor, was inspired by an article called "The Prostitutes of Dhaka" which was published in Bichitra.[7] She was unable to conduct research for the book by visiting brothels herself, relying instead on weekly reports from a male journalist to gain an understanding of a sex worker's living conditions.[7] It created a huge stir in Bangladesh upon publication because of its frank depiction of prostitution in the country. In a 2016 translation of the book named Letters of Blood,[8] Rahman said, "I received a lot of praise for the book, but also had to endure an equal amount of abuse."[7]
