The Reverse Tree

by Kiriti Sengupta

Once again Kiriti Sengupta offers a look into his life and his mind. From his discussion of the third sex – comprised of transsexuals, bisexuals and transgender individuals – to an academic yet spiritual look into a selection of his favorite verses from The Geeta, the author once again offers an interesting view of his life and his Indian culture. The Reverse Tree is quite a fascinating experience with its prose and verse alternating under the marvelous topics. Indeed the book in one bold experiment to come out with an alternative insight into life only for brainstorming. One has to read the book until its last to have a total idea of what prompted the author to write a one-of-a kind book. The Reverse Tree is sure to sink into readers’ minds to tap the sap like his reverse tree descending from the top, only to search light.
