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 '.
