Imprint Hamish Hamilton, page 256. ISBN 9780670086658. http://www.penguinbooksindia.com/en/content/neamat-imam〕 It is considered the "gold standard for any book which seeks to engage with South Asian politics or history" and a "future classic."〔^ "In the famine-ravaged fields of Bangla, we are all Mujib," by Aditya Mani Jha, The Sunday Guardian, 15 June 2013 http://www.sunday-guardian.com/bookbeat/the-black-coat-by-neamat-imam〕 He has also authored 2 plays, 2 novellas, and a collection of poetry in Bengali language.〔"Where's 'The Black Coat" http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2013/06/08/wheres-the-black-coat〕
In Bangladesh, Imam's book ''The Black Coat'' was quoted by Begum Khaleda Zia, Bangladesh's ex-prime minister and leader of the opposition in the national parliament, in her Facebook page because of its anti-Awami League sentiment.〔https://www.facebook.com/khaleda.zia/posts/10153399420725691?stream_ref=10〕 He is considered to have exceeded all the indigenous and foreign critics of Sheikh Mujib as he does not accept Sheikh Mujib as the Father of the Bengali Nation because of Sheikh Mujib's introduction of one-party rule in Bangladesh in 1975.〔http://arts.bdnews24.com/?p=5504〕 Imam is also called a sympathiser of Islamic politics because of his critique of the tribunal set by the Awami League government to try the collaborators of Pakistan.〔https://www.banglanews24.com/detailsnews.php?nssl=77de34145adab63d076bd3e0159a554f&nttl=22112013241989〕

It was a village which had no school, no shops, post-office, mosque and no electricity, for which his lessons in alphabet began in the light of a lantern. His father was an elementary schoolteacher and his mother a housewife. He lost his mother when he was 8 and his father when he was 15.〔As presented in his official biography in Bengali. http://neamatimam.com/bangla/neamat/〕 Third among four children of his parents, he was raised by his elder brother and elder sister who were senior to him only by a few years. He first saw a newspaper that his brother brought from his office when he was 13〔Limelight. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130602/jsp/7days/story_16961846.jsp#.UbL5OUDsZlA〕 and sat before a TV set for the first time when he was 14.〔"Ten trivial tidbits about Neamat Imam." http://neamatimam.com/the-black-coat/faq/〕
