Often regarded as an avant-garde, he was awarded the Bharat Bhushan Agrawal Award for poetry in 2007 〔(Cuurent GK : News BBA )〕 and Krishna Pratap Award for Fiction in 2014.〔(Krishna Pratap Award )〕 He lives in Bhopal, India. He is active both as a fiction writer and critic. He has been named one of the 'Ten Best Writers' of India by esteemed English daily The Indian Express.〔(Indian Express : 10 Best Writers )〕 Geet Chaturvedi is the author of five books including two translations of Pablo Neruda and Charlie Chaplin. He published three books in 2010, a book of poetry Aalaap mein girah, and two collections of stories Savant Anti Ki Ladkiyan and Pink Slip Daddy. His stories are quite longer in their length and he insists to call them novella, as he says in an interview, there is no synonym for longer short stories in Hindi and novella is the best word to name this form of writing. His stories Savant Auntie ki Larkiyan, Sahib Hai Rangrez〔(Sahib Hai Rangrez : Tadbhav (in Hindi) )〕 and Gomootra are widely talked about. His novella Pink Slip Daddy (2009)〔(Teen Kahanikar, Ravindra Tripathi : Kathadesh (in Hindi) )〕 was considered as one of the best works of fiction in recent year's Hindi writing by noted literary periodical Kathadesh. ==Themes and style== Geet Chaturvedi is a Post-Modern writer and his major themes are love, memory, oblivion, alienation, homogenization. He employs multi-layered narratives into his fiction and looks at the cinema to get his creative fodders. He uses cinematic techniques of master filmmakers in his fiction. Krzysztof Kieslowski, for instance, tell him how a frame can swiftly carry a couple of overlapping or independent tales, the secondary characters emerging as primary ones in the next. While he can appreciate Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismaki's minimalism, his fiction weaves a complex structure of incidents and characters.〔 Regarding his style, he says in an interview, "(After reading Borges and Shankaracharya) I find that a writer lives in the 25th hour of the watch. This is not independent of the 24 hours (of a day). It's (about) residing in the absent. When you do so, you participate in all other presences of the cosmos." 〔〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geet Chaturvedi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
