Blurb
Agogos follows the story of Carl, a man who is similar to many of
the modern men of this century. Through him, the reader is able to
see how a simple man is forced to question beyond right vs wrong,
faith vs freedom, security vs adventure. The reader is made to
follow an unstructured structured story through Carl s stream of
consciousness. The booked is marred in depth of many a quaint
optimism.
Highlights
Agogo is an unconventional story of Carl, whose mind travels
through several realms of craziness. The book is a novella divided into
10 chapters.The main character are Carl, M, old man, and a frog.
Carl is accused of committing a crime, which M did. Who is M? That’s a
suspense. Every chapter is structured in a unique manner with a prose in the
beginning and poetry in between. Author explains the psychological and
philosophical journey of Carl. The book cover is designed by author himself. He
did the art work in the 8th chapter as well, which came out in sync with the story. The book is a sincere effort to introduce a new form you literature to the readers.

Drawbacks
Author tried really hard to bring out a philosophical
journey but at certain areas, he failed to portray the same convincingly. There
were a few grammatical errors.
