1) the plot
there's something very forthcoming about the story itself, something that comes at you breaking all aspects of time. This could've been today
barring some of the technical stuff of register and tropes. The plot leaps at you
2) dialogues
the opening scene
is full of satire and foreboding
brilliant
you don't understand it until the plot's moved on
3) the setting
it's just fantastical, the people who occupy chidiyakhana and their 'master' the judge
who's preoccupied with the idea of retribution and is forced into a game of cat and mouse. And even as a lot of Feluda stories are concerned with judges keen on washing off guilt or possible mistakes, this one's absolutely bizarre.
"I like to live always at the beginnings of life, not at their end...It amazed me that you felt that each time you write a story you gave away one of your dreams and you felt the poorer for it. But then you have not thought that this dream is planted in others, others begin to live it too, it is shared, it is the beginning of friendship and love."
