Description
“Dhaka Delirium is a beautiful collection of short essays written over almost two decades. Morshed is an architect, a professor, and a public intellectual, but more than anything he is a lover of Dhaka. His passion for the city is evident in these op-ed pieces written for the general public in a straightforward language but in elegant prose… In this anthology, he turns specialized knowledge into an arena for political activism in the pursuit of social justice and policy impact.”
