Aram - Jeyamohan
Jeyamohan, one of the most significant and trend-setting Tamil writers of the present era. Conceived as a non-linear fiction, where events are projected in a cyclic order, synchronizing with the concept of history in the Indian cultural tradition, this novel explores the multiple layers of meaning and substance in the three primary cosmic principles of creation, preservation and annihilation. It is a novel of epic dimension crafted in an innovative style.
‘Aram’ (‘Righteuousness’) is a collection of twelve long short stories, thematically linked with the title. In this era of ethical relativism, the philosophical issues such as which is absolutely good and which is absolutely bad may seem apparently irrelevant. But, yet, righteousness as an intrinsic trait of an individual(such rare specimens who are not yet wanting) does not fail to find expression in the form of indignation, compassion, infinite perseverance, capacity for suffering, sense of beauty for its own sake, humanism,, gratitude and world vision. Like’ the quality of mercy’, it affects both, the one who has this trait and the one who is provoked to narrate his/her story and in this case the writer himself who has this existential dilemma of reconciling between romantic idealism and the practical worldly outlook.

Let's start reviewing the book.,
By seeing the book as a collection of short stories, I thought it might be a fictional one. But after reading first story about the struggles of writers, I came to know that it is a collection of real stories with some author creativeness. As I told, at the end of each story you will feel the pain and struggles of those people. Each story hardly will take 1/2-1 hour to complete, but it will take 1-2 days to digest about their situations.
Each story will provide you different perspective about life and explains about humanity, ethics, love, pain and everything. One should have a brave heart to complete this book. Along with that, you will get to know about great humans from world.
After finishing reading this book ,I felt that one cannot write off humanity as yet! All the twelve stories are written based on real characters, the sequential narration of events are fictionalized with nuanced skill to add aesthetic charm and literary elegance. You will never regret about buying this book. I am not able to specify which story I loved most since I loved all the stories because each one has a different and unique perspective.
Love Reading...!! 💗 Keep exploring..!! 💗📚
