A quiet man is stunned by revelations of his love relationship falling apart that follow a conversation with...the crack in his pavement. Another one tries hard to figure out what is so unsettling about the shadow of a tree across the street. A powerful president reflects in wonder and awe about his own glory, while a father struggles to come to terms with half-truths of life that he feels compelled to impart to his son. All these characters come to life in unusual predicaments for which is not an easy task to find the right answer. It is a voyage between dream and reality, a perilous journey in uncharted waters. Written at times with humor and at times in a more reflective mood, Conversation with Objects is itself an unusual book that challenges the reader to go beyond official lies and sugar-coated comfortable certitudes.
