Without Opposite

Mind-bending nondualism fiction that speaks the unspeakable.

The original sin is Freudian in this modern version of ancient creation legends. Shatarupa's mythical hundred manifestations reflect her unrivaled beauty but also the pain of family secrets and unfulfilled dreams. Driven from paradise by an unspeakable act, she must face her demons-who happen to be philosophers. They vie for her feelings with pleasure, art, and sacrifice, inevitably leading to an existential showdown. When Shatarupa finally exposes the origin of humankind and the physical world, it turns the philosophers' lives upside down. But can she mend her own life and find forgiveness in her heart?

Her tale weaves scandal with timeless myth: As Shatarupa blossoms into womanhood, ancient wisdom and forbidden desires collide, revealing the most profound and elemental of truths.

"The story leads the reader through the adventures of Shatarupa, who explores her wishes and desires while discussing philosophical subjects with her friends and lovers. The mystery's 'explanation' is really very surprising and leaves the reader thinking about several philosophical questions treated while the story unfolds. Intriguing and fascinating, it makes the reader want to learn more about the subjects it touches."-Amazon customer
