Summary
Random Subterranean Mosaic by Sabarna Roy is a collection of random short stories, poems, prose, quotes, letters, and thoughts weaved together in a 271 pages book. There is a total of 93 chapters, though all of them last very few pages. There are episodes from his life experiences, of traveling to various places like Vanaras and Kashmir. The letters to his son and daughter are emotionally appealing. The prose and poems are well crafted.
“One of the endearing anxieties of anybody’s life is: Whether the finest moments have passed by in life or are those moments yet to come, and, if they have gone by why could we not hold on to them and dissect their mysteries to repeat those moments forever.”
Personal Reviews on Random Subterranean Mosaic
It can be said to be a fairly good-written book. The writing is easy, lucid, and descriptive. The chapters are so randomly arranged (as the title suggests) that you really don’t know what’s coming next, which kind of makes it intriguing. It’s a simple read and if you’re having those “reader’s blocks” and want to pick up something light yet good enough to read you can pick this one.
The fact that the author has been completely honest with his perspective be it on his life experiences, family, relationships, or politics (being a liberal) makes the book more likable. However, if you’re reading the book in one go, it might turn out to be a bit monotonous. Overall, it’s a fine book.
