Description
As it is, the stories are woven around the themes of hopelessness, frustration, fear, illiteracy, implicit destitution(ism), greed, corruption, prostitution and hypocrisy to state but a few. Better still, A Vase of Shrubs is an attempt at exploring the gloomy sides of human nature propelled with the creation of incidents and symbols that call forth upsetting glimpses into a violent world no further away than a twist of imagination. Although, A Vase of Shrubs possess a peculiar narrative form defying the logical analogies, defying systems of thought that tend to force man into intellectual conventionality, it should be taken purely as a response from the innermost part of the soul regarding the varied retrogressive, meaningless and absurdic situations facing man.
