Set in New York City in the 1990s, when Rudy Giuliani was Mayor and Bill Clinton was President, Looking for an Address explores the lives of Bengali men and women from both Bangladesh and India.
Jhilli has come to New York for a few months from Kolkata for training at the School of Social Sciences, staying with her childhood friend Shipra in Queens. Through Jhilli’s eyes, we see the wonders of New York, meet their Bengali friends, and experience their friendships and romances with native New Yorkers Gloria, Joshua, and Benjamin.
There are bombs, both literal, with India’s nuclear testing, and figurative, with unexpected revelations about the characters and their lives. Nabaneeta Dev Sen’s keenly observed novel sensitively depicts the intersection of the immigrants’ lives in New York as they search for a home and an address: for their bodies and their hearts. In 2025, as the plight of immigrants is hotly debated, the stories of these immigrants, whether cabbies or lawyers, are especially relevant and poignant.
