Parashor Barma


Parashor Barma is a fictional detective character made by Bengali writer Premendra Mitra. First Parashor story is Goyenda Kobi Parashor and was published in 1932.

Character

Although Parashor is a detective, his passion is poetry. Parashor never identifies himself as an investigator. The narrator of Parashor stories, Krittibas Bhadra, the editor of a magazine, is the friend of Parashor. According to Krittibas, Parashar is moody, jovial, little eccentric and a horrible poet, but a true genius. Although his actions seem capricious and pointless to the reader at the beginning, he comes up with an unexpected solution at the end of each mystery. He can even solve a serious mystery while reading out his nonsense poems.
