In the realm of literary popular culture among the readers of Bangla literature, Himu and Misir Ali by Humayun Ahmed are two hyper-real popular icons. Both the characters enjoy high popularity because of their hyper-real sensitivity and supernatural power. Himu is also popular for his eccentric yet very catchy life style in which he enjoys endless freedom while Misir Ali is famous for his telepathic power through which he can communicate with the ever mysterious inner mechanics of human psyche. Misir Ali is a person of logic and rationality while Himu symbolizes anti-logic and unconventionality. Humayun Ahmed seems to cash in on the popularity of these characters, especially of Himu, though he seems to promote a set of his own ideology through these characters as well. In spite of the accusation of being 'inferior' kind of works, the books of Himu and Misir Ali are highly popular among the readers of Bangla literature. As the postmodern notion rejects the margin between 'high' and 'low' literature, the Himu and Misir Ali books can be evaluated in respect of Humayun Ahmed's popularity and commercial success achieved through them
