'''''Days and Nights in Calcutta''''' is a work of memoir by husband-and-wife authors [[Clark Blaise]] and [[Bharati Mukherjee]] first published by [[Doubleday (publisher)|Doubleday]] in 1977. Blaise, a Canadian author, and Mukherjee, originally from the Indian state of [[West Bengal]], had been married for a decade when they decided in 1973 to travel with their two children to India and spend a year in Calcutta (now [[Kolkata]]) with Mukherjee's family. The first half of the book is told from Blaise's point of view as a Westerner adjusting to life with a large upper-class Indian family and the unfamiliar traditions and patterns of life he found in India. The second half is told from Mukherjee's perspective after fourteen years' absence from the land of her birth, testing her childhood memories against the realities of 1973 India and examining the differences between the path her life had followed and the life she might have lived had she remained in India. | '''''Days and Nights in Calcutta''''' is a work of memoir by husband-and-wife authors [[Clark Blaise]] and [[Bharati Mukherjee]] first published by [[Doubleday (publisher)|Doubleday]] in 1977.
