Character

As per the writer Samaresh Basu, Gogol's father Samiresh Chatterjee, was a fan of Russian writer Nikolai Gogol and hence, named his only child as Gogol Chatterjee. Gogol's real name is Uday Kumar Chatterjee. [2] Basu crafted Gogol as an intelligent boy, obedient to his parents but extremely curious about anything happening around him. He often finds himself entangled in a web of mystery. His curiosity drives him to solve mysteries, some of which are life-threatening. [3] This fictional detective character is still very popular for children. In some cases, a private investigator from Naihati, Mr. Ashok Thakur, helps and saves Gogol from the criminals. [4] [1]

Stories

Bose writes lot of short stories and novels based on Gogol's adventures. [5] Most of the Gogol series were published in Bengali child magazines like Anandamela, Shuktara etc.
