After “Three Times Loser” and “It happened that night”, Akash Verma takes up an interesting and controversial subject in his book, “A Broken Man”. He discusses the critical issue of caste not only in social terms where the future of two lovers is affected but also the political implications of the caste issue in the idea of reservation.
With the story of Krishna and Chhavi developing and being decided by these factors, these issues form the background. the author gives the story a realistic touch when there is no fairy tale like happily ever after. Prseniting the stark truth in itself is a necessity of today’s time and people rather prefer to read that. the author realizes this well and constructs his plot accordingly.
Readers of all ages can read this book and at the same time the readers who look for a touch of reality in he framework of fiction can also find this book appealing.
