In the course of our lifetime, all we do is crave for companionship. It drives our emotions, perspectives, and the need to make our life worthy of living. Saikat Majumdar’s recent novel, The Remains of the Body is not just a story about people exploring sexuality. It also cultivates the different ideas of relationship they build by relying on pleasure, freedom and where or how all of them get restricted. Cis/het men often fail to understand the fundamentals of queer literature. It comes with the conditioning which is based on conclusions and not on understanding. Yet, if read by breaking the conditioning we are pushed to adopt, queer literature holds the ability to wash away the linings of gender. This particular work of Saikat Majumdar made the man in me hard and melted the woman that likes to come out of me by coating my body with warmth, shivers and excitement.
