Author Introduction
Arthinkal is a pseudonym for Jordan John Anthony, born in Mumbai, India. A Fisherman’s Dream is his debut novel. He also maintains a website and newsletter on which he posts essays and articles on literature, music, art, history, philosophy, politics, law, and social issues.Blurb
He’s a poor fisherman who dreams of becoming a famous artist one day. A chance encounter with a businessman gives him an opportunity to chase his dream. Will he grab the opportunity to pursue his dream until he makes it? Or will fear of failure get the best of him?
As Aryan lives the mundane life of a fisherman in the coastal village of Kornur, India, he secretly dreams of becoming an artist one day. Fate gives him a chance to achieve his dream and he moves to Mumbai in the hope of becoming a successful artist. His life in Mumbai as a struggling artist is full of ups and downs, and the new things he learns and experiences set him off on an unintentional journey of self-discovery.
As Aryan comes to realize that it is much more difficult and frustrating to achieve his dream than he had expected, he begins to question his dream and his ability to achieve it.
Does Aryan have what it takes to push through the obstacles until he turns his dream into his reality? Or will he lose himself in the struggle and give up on his dream?
My Opinion
A fisherman's Dream by Arthinkal is a work of literary fiction which takes you to the depths of human emotions. I was really moved by Aryan's life and his efforts to achieve something in his life. The author takes you to a new world where the protagonist is torn between his dreams and reality. The plot is slow paced and needs a little bit of patience for the first time readers. Aryan and Vincent's character developed beautifully describing new meanings of friendship. By the time, I reached the climax it turned out totally opposite from what I was expecting. There is an aura of sadness in the book covered with love and hope. The characters seemed real and you will literally feel connected to them. I would like to give the book 5 stars, and definitely recommend everyone to read the book.
