Q1: What inspired the idea for your book?
The positive reviews on the second book inspired me to start working on the third book. A box filled with monsters and you
are in it… It was a good idea.
Q2: If you could meet your characters, what would you say to them?
Honestly, if I got a chance to meet Steven then I would force a bubblegum in his mouth and meet Blahman. That’s meeting two people EFFICIENTLY!!
Q3: How did you come up with the title for your book?
Jesica from now points forward will be the main villain so I decided to dedicate a book. A box terrorised by Jesica. Again like the first question, It was a good idea.
Q4: What’s your favorite writing snack or drink?
My favourite snacks to consume when I’m writing are:- coconut water, some chips, cola, cold coffee, chocolate, lemonade, cake etc. Not particularly a healthy diet.
Q5: Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both?
That’s an interesting question, whenever I start writing, it doesn’t matter how bad or good mood I have, it always relaxes me and is kind of a break time for me where I can do anything I like.
Pentacles comprises one long story and four short poems by Sabarna Roy. The work delightfully bridges the gap between the mundane and arcane writings of today and provides an interesting, yet intellectually stimulating, treat for the discerning reader.
Abyss is a full length play in two acts with an interval in between. It is essentially a racy crime thriller full of gritty suspense. Act one builds up slowly to result in a crescendo of conflicts between personalities and ideas finally to end with an unnatural death before the interval. Is it a suicide or a murder? Act two evolves through a series of incisive interrogations to unravel the truth, which is deeply disturbing and affecting. As the play unfolds into a very well-crafted situational thriller, underneath is the debate about using land for agriculture or for industry, the ethics of a working author and the nexus of a modern state all wonderfully enmeshed into its storyline and the personal lives of its subtly etched out characters. The highpoints of the play are its central conflict between a mother and her daughter and its female sleuth – Renuka.
The poems contained in this collection, Winter Poems, by Sabarna Roy were inspired by the relatively mild season that prevails in Kolkata following the season of festivities, the Durga and Kali Puja, and portray myriad shades of human life. Some of them deal with the imaginations of death and home while still others the idea of loss and coming to terms with gradual wasting of life. Many aspects of human life and commonplace human impulses are examined and brought to life through a range of imaginations and varied metaphorical associations. The poems are sure to delight the readers and generate a whole range of emotions among them.
