Man in the Grey

Beschreibung

"Sitting quietly on the grassy bank of the river with a sandwich which was too old to be eaten in his hand, he looked towards the old, frail house on the other side, the house he longed to live in. Drinking stale tea, even in his state of reverie, he could not have anticipated the turns his life would take after he had met Anna, and where the path would lead him, after the War began. In that moment, his dreams were still pure and he was ready to pay his dues to fulfill them." What does a wanderer do when he reaches the destination he ached for? Set in the volatile era of World War 2, Man in the Grey is a journey through the dark alleys of life, where hope is a distant star and where a few rash decisions define lives. It is a perpetual journey between love and loneliness.

I always wanted to write something, anything, but I could never figure out a way to sustain a story. My mind used to wander off in the middle of conversations to places where only I and my incoherent thoughts existed. I had an aching desire to put a story on paper. Back in 2013, I had a vivid dream from whence the idea was generated and planted into my brain. I started writing around the title because that was how I had worked before that. I believe in simple storytelling. There is always a start, and a finish, and every reader should relate to the emotions expressed by the scenery and the characters. I attempted, from the first day, to model my story for everyone. The novel Man in the Grey is about a young man who is indecisive about the actions and reactions of his life. His life and its goals, like the storytelling, are simple and straight-forward. The journey through life is complex and full of grey. I hope that people who read the story like it, or at least relate to the human condition of the story. I have shied away from exposing my work to traditional publishing because in my opinion, their practices are old and do not relate to the modern methods. I decided to self-publish my story because I wanted to have this experience by myself (and hopefully escape the disappointment of getting rejected by publishing houses, haha). I appreciate everyone who has supported me and encouraged me through the two years of writing this novel. -Abdullah.
