Two introductory notes to Wrighteings: In Media Res by A.V. Koshy & A.V. Varghese

An intro note to the book by one of Kerala's finest and least known thinkers Anil Kumar Payapilly Vijayan :

" Some German guys published his work. It Is prized at 49.00 € so that we are not obliged to buy or read it. I don't think the author himself will buy it unless he is narcissistic. Anyways, I read the essays long ago and I loved... one in particular: the essay on Lacan and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. In his essay on the Georgian film maker Sergei Paradjanov, he quotes the Armenian poet Sayat-Nova: "I am he whose soul is tortured," which is an apt description of the author himself (I guess everything except the essay on design has been written by him). A writing which is a blend of Blake and Benjamin! To my mind, one of the finest and least known minds from Kerala."

Second review from Thys van der Veer, my Dutch friend: " There is a nice flow in the things that you write.
The first letter of course in that book of yours is very moving.
But it is a glimpse, a second, in a year.
But it enlightens.

...Further, the hard reading might come later.
A flow of words it is, and the flow is easy.
For a deeper understanding of meanings it might have to be read three times, because some layers might be missed.
Under water life is not visible but when we see the birds that float/fly on that water, we are already happy. "
