The last decade of twentieth century is comparatively fruitful for Bangladeshi novels. Al Mahmud's novelistic exposition, Bipradas Barua's Buddhist life, Humayun Azad's brave creations, Akimun Rahman's novels about womanhood, Nasreen Jahan's novels of magic realism, Shamsuddin Abul Kalam's historic work "Kanchongram" is few mark of this decade. Syed Shamsul Haq's masterpiece "Bristi O Bidrohigon", published in 1998, is a milestone on the past heritage and liberation war.
