"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
This is a story so intricately woven in its discussion of the human condition, aspects of which pull at different heartstrings, the abject loneliness of the protagonist having possibly crept up, unbidden, at any point in the lives of others. His story is a catharsis that may inspire, even an unsure writer, to pen a thought or two down but also inspire a feeling of community, that in this world of ours, moving fast towards isolation, we are really not alone.
Descartes' Mistress is a piece of experimental, philosophical fiction concerning philosophical implications of a premise we all know - what would happen if everybody disappeared? - in a new radical light.
Advik Lahiri
Advik Lahiri is a senior at the Shri Ram School, Moulsari. He has been writing for the majority of his life. This book encapsulates his love for philosophy and for literature. This piece was inspired by his readings and interpretations of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, The Republic, The Outsider, On Being Blue, and general ideas of Descartes, Marx (his societal views), Sartre, Baudrillard, and Saul Kripe. These are just some, though the most important, of his inspirations in the philosophy of the book.
