Description
Chance is the pseudonym of God which He uses when He does not wish to put down His signature could probably be described as the theme of this absorbing novel. But everything about The Escapist has the irony of a magician who hides his true face behind a mask and drowns everything in a peal of laughter, observed Dr. H.P. Shukla in his deep study of this work in the Visva Bharati Quarterly. By the time one completes reading the novel, one would have felt the title revealing a sense quite different from its ordinary meaning-something akin to the escapism of Francis Thompson in The Hound of Heaven. This not-too-long novel stirs a readers sensibility at various planes-from the one that shows the play of unexpected forces in our normal life to the plane where we reflect on the very purpose of life. A saga of souls journey through lifes darkness into the infinity of the blue... Why do our dreams get shattered? Why are we confronted by the unexpected and the inscrutable? The turbulence of our passion-the pangs of their frustration-do they play and role in our lifes journey - and journey towards what? How distant is that goal?The Escapist is not just an absorbing novel-but a voyage and an exploration.
