In the 2000s, another kind of Bengali has found a different sort of literary calling. The new litterateurs specialise in delicate prose that delineates the cultural ethos and the rootless dissociation of what is by now a very large immigrant community. The target audience is the enlightened Western reader who may want to know something about the home-life of the "Paki" running the local balti restaurant. Jhumpa Lahiri, Amit Chaudhuri and Monica Ali are three of the leading lights of this school.
