Upamanyu Chatterjee is a Civil servant and a Postmodern novelist with unique perspective for Indian bureaucracy, Anglicized urban youth and their dysfunctional responses, weird reflections to the chaotic world. His weapons of expressions are wit, irony and black comedy to spill the beans out of the putrefied system. Among five of his novels, there are two pairs of sequels, and the latest novel till date ‘Way To Go’ (WTG), is the sequel to the previous novel ‘The Last Burden’ introduces a middle class family and its aspirations, bickering and failing filial piety. WTG continues the family saga that started disintegrating and the chief characters soon die or disappear. The novel signifies the Existentialistic view of ‘existence precedes essence’ and mainly Kafka’s view of ‘certainty of death’. Chatterjee highlights the theme of ‘death’ and contemplates ‘disappearance’ and’ desolation’ as its adjuncts; where ‘death’ is mystified, glorified, viewed naturally and dignifiedly but never mourned. The novel records various modes of ‘ways to go’ i.e. exit from the world with Chatterjee’s trademark bizarreness, absurdity and dark wit. Key Words: Upamanyu Chatterjee, way to go, WTG, Existentialism, Kafkaesque, death, disappearance, desolation, Jamun, Shyamanand.
