At the Amar Ekushey Book Fair, people of all ages – from children to elderly men and women – have been thronging the stall of the country’s longest running monthly satirical magazine “Unmad” at the Bangla Academy premises. Like every year, the Unmad stall includes previous monthly issues as well as Unmad comic books, joke books, posters, and stickers with a compilation of the best issues of 2017 as the centerpiece. Md Aminur Rahman, 29, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) worker hailing from Jessore, came to Dhaka in order to visit the book fair. Yesterday afternoon, he came to the Unmad stall with a list of back issues. Under his leadership, the circulation of the satire magazine reached around 30,000, according to sources.
