Review Time - Some Very Dignified Disclosures by Anumita Sharma
—Charles Bukowski, The Captain Is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship
‘Some Very
Dignified Disclosures’ shall be rightly regarded as a read of a girl’s diary than
considering it to be a novel.
The novel centres
the life of one particular character called ‘Roli’. Staring from the childhood,
where she is compelled to witness the murder of her mother, to the day where
she herself is pulled into the covers of death – the portrayal of story unfolds
in an elegant way. The waves and swirls
in the life of Roli is put in words, added with every detail from her emotions
to her surroundings.
To comment
on language, it is courtlier and refined as if it is meant for literate people.
One cannot easily dive into the story with a language which is this much
dignified but once you analyse, you will never fail to discern the in-depth
denotation.
The story swiftly
takes a turn in the setting from village to town life, however dated back to
1980’s, each scene is explained in a detailed manner pointing out every minute
movement, which actually makes the reader to visualise the situation with the
scene still lingering in our minds.
The various
stages in the life of a girl, with all kind of emotions and bonds experienced
by her is the one basic things that builds and holds the story up. The way how
she connects with a third person, how she lost that connection with her close
ones, the way she struggles to hold her love, how things slip from her hand in
front of her eyes, her helplessness and every other thing will root to your
heart.
Just like
the cover picture of the book, the life can also may look colourful when seen
through naked eyes, but there are some dark lines, unseen often by our naked
eyes, which is the actual picture of life.
