ROADS TO NOWHERE is a collection of non-fictional prose on a variety of topics ranging from autobiographical narratives through critiques on contemporary life, ecological discourses, memories of poets and poetry, interrogations and introspections. The essays may have been written during diverse occasions but they follow a common stream of intellectual and critical inquiry, an inquiry into misplaced value systems and dislocated collective memory. These narratives with their thought provoking interest and consuming, passionate, ideological involvement with everyday life, are certain to provide hours of pleasure and interest for the general reader and the inquiring undergraduate student alike.
