Darkness and Beyond

Whether it is a journey to the native village ending with the realization that one’s roots can be traced back to a generation that took pride in belonging, a generation proud of its roots, its temples, and its Gods or the old man who awaits his end with equanimity, in the hope that there is always something beyond the darkness that would soon engulf him. G S Subbu delves deep into the lives of people who we may have met sometime, somewhere and left their imprint on us. The nine stories in this book revolves around the lives of an old woman, a young man, a middle-aged woman, a visually challenged boy, a patriarch, a savant and a young widow. These nine stories are more than just stories; they are nine slices of life!
