Glaring Shadow - A stream of consciousness novel
Publisher: Project Gutenberg Self-Publishing Press
Published: 2014
Description: In a stream of consciousness mode, Glaring Shadow is the self-account of the life and times of a man, who liquidates his immense wealth only to consign it to the flames. 
The agony and ecstasy of his life as he makes it big in our materialistic world and the way he loses his soul in the bargain, only to regain it when tragedy strikes him makes one ponder over the meaning of success in life. 
This philosophical ‘novel of a memoir’ is a compelling read that is conducive to contemplate about the nature and scope of human relationships.
Notes: This creative work like the author’s other fictional endeavors had emanated from his conviction that for fiction to impact readers, it should be the soulful rendering of characters rooted in their native soil but not the hotchpotch of local and alien caricatures sketched on a hybrid canvas, and was embellished by his passion for writing, matched only by his love for language.
