" I mistrust all systematizers and I avoid them. The will to a system is a lack of integrity "
Friedrich Nietzsche: Twilight of the Idols
Parables of the Sperm by Anand Bose is the epiphany of the chagrins of mind that anathematize any systems to which man's life is often attached to in its conventional sense. The intrusive quality of his writing seldom permit bland religions and sterile philosophies to pry into human affairs and making it the worst form of living. Taboos have been metamorphosed into existential tenets and one's visceral longings become a leitmotif in his new exegesis. His narratology is largely confessional though it transcends the temporality of time just like Zeno's paradox; circular and tend to return eternally to the Eternal Return. Sex is no longer to be a fetishized fantasy. Moreover, the feminine orifice is the oracles of wisdom; an invitation to an exalted consciousness that hitherto been shrouded as a forbidden territory of the religions. The warring mythologies allow Gods to be truculent and bestial. His diacritical writing is a symbiosis between the banal and the sublime; sarcastic and pedantic and this duality allows him to copiously nourish even from the scatological elements as showers of Manna from heaven quite in fashion as Dalinian aesthetics. 'Parables of the Sperm' offers a rich reading experience.

A cornucopia of wit, wisdom and critical insights wrapped up in blackhumor ' - Anand Bose delves deep into the heart of the matter with his undeniable narrative power and skill which take its fountain from the vein of occultism, Christianity, existential philosophies of our times and of course, the political milieu of the contemporary world. His fertile mindscape travels swiftly and effortlessly across a wide array of topics that readers can easily associate with a glass menagerie of their existential being..... fragility and futility of human institutions erupted on the edifice of schisms and make beliefs.... These desultory leaps of the author are synonymous with the angst and agonies of our own in which Borges surfaced in a dystopian landscape poorly lit by the practical wisdom of mankind, political cataclysm and unrest favour Middle Deuce - the coup leader to appear in disguise as Ms. Moses Hillary Lake view before the political scientist Dr. Prometheus Bacon in the anti- climax, evoking the suspense elements in a Hitchcockian movie, the metaphorical allusions to the power structures that weave its secret web in deciding each year's Nobel Prize, the narcissistic elements in a technology driven world of globalisation - the corpus of Anand Bose's writing is ' a symbolism of a mind in the diaspora of psychological holocaust, tormented by the fetish totem of earthly fornication and covetousness'. He is in the legion of great writers like Jorge Luis Borges, Franz Kafka, Jean Paul Sartre, Umberto Eco, Michel Foucault and Colin Wilson and yet it is very difficult to fit him into any handy category of any of them either. His writings are insanely profound, labyrinthine and magical '.
