Eden

Eden is about a fictive ghost-town swallowed by nature, that evokes a Macondo-like feeling. Nothing I’ve read greatly captures the tragic sense of a city regressing back to nature as vividly as Marquez’s masterpiece, One Hundred Years of Solitude – and this in ways is a tribute to the book, in my own Indian way – furthermore, my work is also about how, as humans, we are slowly, irresponsibly going towards the end, towards our own extinction – and what awaits us – nature reabsorbing whatever that was ours; Eden thus hints at impermanence – which probably is the only truth upon this earth.
