At the Crossroads
Novel bares trauma of kidney patient
Like a recluse he had distanced himself, after retirement, from the hustle and bustle of life and devoted himself fully to creative writing. It seemed as if he wanted to share with the readers his observations without any loss of time. In 1977 he had published his first novel “Fire in the cupboard” in which he had depicted disillusionment born out of clash between generations because of their lifestyles. In 1989 his second novel “The Forbidden Smile”, wherein he had described the trauma of a young man who had undergone kidney transplant, was received in the literary circles with high hopes. He did not, of course, belie the expectations of his readers.
