***************AN INTERVIEW WITH NAG MANI****************
Book Review #29
Writing Fiction isn’t an activity for the faint-hearts, and the one who manages, as Nag Mani to generate two successful books (in an impressive variety of horror) clearly deserves credit for discipline, diligence, resolve and, most of all, confidence.
The protagonist “Aditi”, is shown as a bewildering scale of the human spirit courage, perseverance, pusillanimity, deceit against conditions that are grim at best. The story suggests the horror that is to come, while also displaying Nag Mani’s skills as a humorist.
There is a lot about this book that impressed me. The characters and story line is addictive, and I read this book without ever finding a dull moment. While I can’t say there were moments that were especially surprising, some of the classic temple rituals were used creatively. Nag Mani’s writing style is very simple. Blunt. Direct. He has this way of being underrated though upfront in his portrayal of “ordinary and simple” settings that creates excellent thrill contrasting with the horror in his work.
Finally, the end has a magnificent massive note that stuck in my mind long after I’d finished the last few lines. The subtext of this story is a rare gem that is to be found.
#Resolute Superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
