contd..
hmmm so To Kill a Mocking Bird . Harper Lee. could any one guess that my pencil sketch(the idea was copied though ;) ) was inspired from that novel?
One helluva novel that is..my current running favorite. The story at times does feel slightly didactic, but thats ok.I would say its more of a positive kinda novel when compared to Arundhati Roy's God of Small Things, though the protagonists, kids, compare almost same in terms of age and maturity and the fact that both the stories are set in the same back drop of a prejudiced mindset of the bygone world of 60's. Both the stories have that rustic charm about them which reminds one of their childhood, of being close to the nature, of the home land, of the ppl, of learning and growing.
But the narrative styles of both the authors are so contrasting that you cannot think about both of them together. I like the idea of Roy's narrative, flooded with metaphors which effectively convey the feelings with almost near precision ( coz the feelings are left to the reader to perceive instead of restraining it with a word or two of adjectives) where as Harper Lee's is very succinct, still i would say liberal at large. This reminds me of the intense unwavering stern n rigid narrative style of Ayan Rand in Fountain Head, i mean, she does not leave the reader to his own imagination. i would want to be left free to drift into my own images, unlike the writer imposing his/her images on to me by narrating every aspect of it with every available adjective/feeling out there. Thats talking about the narrative styles as "i" like it. No hard feelings though for the Rand novel/philosophy ;).
I guess i have to like a narrative first to like a story woven with it. he he he.
Same goes with J.D Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, striking narrative style and ofcourse Three men in a boat , one heck of a witty narrative that is.
To the uninitiated, the sketch with the groove in the tree is not the nest of the bird flying !! and more over the flying bird has nothing to do with the story ..just a morbid dipiction of life may be(i can only surmise, bcoz i copied it from the cover page)..and the things in the tree are gifts to the kids , Jeremy and Louise Finch (alias scout) from their beloved/scary 'Boo Radley' :) To know more , read the novel.
