A Voice in the Void epitomizes the paradox of life. It challenges the somewhat casual proposition of the old adage that life is there to be enjoyed. No sooner does one start living than he realises that life is a labyrinth of dilemmas. Pulsating dreams and aspirations soon clash with the harsh realities of life and quickly turn the human mind into a battle field. Ultimately, it dawns on the person that indeed life is a capricious business. ¿ the ingenious choreography and narration of the events in this creatively woven masterpiece makes it a compelling read. -Muriithi Gituma
