Quotes from Words from the clandestine self

“Life is a blessing and it is rich in surprises, do not disappoint yourself or the Creator by not living it the way you are supposed to live it.”
“Only to keep our volume of thoughts from turning high, that it not only cuts through their heart but through their soul.”
“Love and passion, fear and death, lust for power and infatuation, sarcasm and challenges; whatever humans are capable of feeling is what makes the gist of this manuscript.”

Maham Syedian’s debut book, Words from my Clandestine Self is quite an intriguing read. Now, if you noticed, I referred to her work as “book” instead of selecting a more specific title such as “novel” or “short story collection.” This is one factor that really makes her book special.
The book is packed with poems and stories and thus, one cannot give a specific title. This makes the story quite unique too, for the reader is always wondering what the next page will disclose. Also, this incorporation of poems and prose really builds the interest of the reader.

In addition, the pieces of writing focus on a range of topics related to ones personal life. For example, the writer states, “I see unusual entities wearing horrifying masks” upon describing what “place” she has entered. One can really make a reference to our world for they explore peculiar objects every single day. Other pieces focus on emotions or perhaps memories which all captivate the reader.
I really enjoyed reading Syedian’s work and look forward to more in the future. Brilliant.
