G. S. Subbu, in his third book ’Autumn Leaves’, explores the reality of human existence whether it is aging and loneliness, infatuation and love, or finding an authenticity in one’s life through a synthesis of the opposing forces within oneself. He relies on simple language to get across his deeply philosophical meditations to the reader. He goes back and forth from the present to the past and back to the present, avoiding the monotony of a straight narrative to keep the reader engrossed.
