The Book I Won't be Writing and Other Essays

HY Sharada Prasad has lived through interesting times, turbulent times, times of great hope and despair. This book captures some of these moments in elegantly crafted and sometimes delightfully anecdotal prose. The writings are grouped into 9 sections with themes varying from the ways and instruments of power to personal reminiscences of the famous; a gentle yet perceptive critique of modern mores and an information age that appears to promote ignorance.
