Indiaclub.com Description

Turbulent Clay is a potpourri of the author’s insights on life and its many mysteries. Ajñeya dives deep into his soul to pen down these reflections surfacing with startling insights.

‘To whom may one dedicate a fistful of clay? One waits, one dreams, one battles, one moulds the clay into an image. Clay images do not last, but the joy is in the making of them; the earth’s truculence is not overcome, but while the artist is savaged, a form has been created.

The form endures.’ ‘It is the battle that one dedicates—to those who have shared its scars.’

Preparing the Ground was written originally in Hindi in 1975 and was titled Antara. It is the documentation of his contemplations associated with creativity.

The book gives the reader a peep into the mental processes of the author, leading towards an understanding of the kind of questions associated with literature that haunted or challenged the author during the course of his writings. There are different shades of humour in these writings, marked with high degree of precision and economy of words.
