Dilip Kapadia

Five Fictions Near......Real Dilip Kapadia

Love, romance, thrill, devastation, intrigue and many more emotions are encountered as you flip the pages of this unique compilation of exaggerated episodes of Suketu's life. Five is a real near saga of nostalgia. The mother and her sacrifices, the tragedy of the lunatic cousin, the half expressed love story, roller coaster of Karans struggles and more. The mixed platter of Suketu's experiences thrills, mystifies, and stimulates the appetite of the reader for more. The diverse stories of this book are enjoyable for their structure and their characters, and they are the fruit of Kapadia's ability to observe the people around him. They are real people, and real lives, and for this reason their stories will live on for long and readers will enjoy this book many years from now. The stories are also shot through with a sense of mystery and wonder about the human being and about the modern world. Kapadia extends to fiction the thinking of the early 20th-century writer Alexis Carrell, whom Kapadia has evidently read with great attention.
