In a literary space where emotions often remain unspoken, Tushar Chatterji crafts narratives that speak directly to the soul. With his debut Behind Those Eyes and his second book Becoming Her, the author presents two deeply introspective works that explore connection, identity, and the silent stories that shape human experience.
Behind Those Eyes unfolds as a poignant tapestry of interconnected stories told through six remarkable canine perspectives. Moving across diverse landscapes — from bustling cities to serene mountains and coastal sanctuaries — the book explores themes of love, loyalty, resilience, and belonging. Through the emotional lives of dogs, Tushar reveals a profound truth: beneath every gaze lies a story of survival, tenderness, and an unspoken bond that transcends words, species, and lifetimes. The book’s emotional depth and unique narrative approach have earned it global recognition, including the International Excellence Award in Contemporary Fiction and the Literary Honour Award for Best Animal Fiction Short Stories.
In contrast, Becoming Her shifts the lens toward the evolving journey of womanhood. Structured as an evocative mosaic, the book captures the many identities a woman embodies — from daughter to lover, wife to mother, and ultimately, to self. Each story reflects both strength and vulnerability, unraveling the complexities of relationships, societal expectations, and personal transformation. With emotional honesty and introspection, the narrative highlights how women carry inherited silences while continuously striving to define their own voice and identity.
Tushar Chatterji, born and raised in Jamshedpur, brings a deeply personal and observational approach to storytelling. His writing is shaped by travel, conversations, cinema, and the quiet reflections of everyday life. Whether capturing the silent loyalty of a dog or the layered realities of womanhood, his work reflects a sensitivity that resonates with contemporary readers.
Together, Behind Those Eyes and Becoming Her establish Tushar as a compelling voice in modern literature — one that understands that the most powerful stories are often found in the simplest, most overlooked moments.
