Or have they, haggard and burdened by the tales they once told, limped off indignantly into the shadow fringes of obscurity? Nay! I must desist thinking such detestful fate […]
It’s just The Double that does it for me. Especially the paranoia that engulfs Golyadkin (i’ll call him senior) when a look-alike, and exact double miraculously materialises from thin air and turns up where he works.

I have been off blogging for sometime now to ‘hoard’ thoughts for a little side project I am working on; a book to be precise. It’s coming along […]
