The Dark Side of Light, Sanil\n Sachar’s second book, promises a unique literary experience for readers, with\n its combination of short stories, poems and plays, vignettes of romance,\n comedy, murder, mystery and much more. Offering a diverse pick, Sanil seamlessly\n combines the rhythm of poetry, the allure of storytelling and the realism of\n theatre to create an enriching and vivid experience. Some pieces transport\n you to a different world, while others allude to everyday experiences. Set in\n the year 2034, ‘Members Only’ takes you inside India’s first strip club and\n asks existential questions about a person’s identity, through the story of a\n young man who oscillates between love and lust. ‘Painted Red’ is about a\n brother dealing with the loss of a sibling and brings alive basic human\n emotions like wrath and vengeance. Navigating through an array of everyday\n emotions, ‘Dinner with the Turners’ is a laugh riot that peeps into the life\n of a hopeless young wanderer trying to find his identity in a foreign land.\n ‘I’ll Be There One Day’ is a short and powerful story about belonging, while\n mystery and wavering thoughts dominate ‘The Conditioned Air’. Racy and\n pulsating, The Dark Side of Light, is a celebration of the coming together of\n three different literary forms, with their distinct flavours intact.
