Like a cross between Thomas Hardy and Emily Bronte, Chitra Gopalakrishnan's Waldeinsamkeit has nature as a character. The plot is simple, but the emotions and soul-searching is complicated, deep, and it is the power of something beyond our realm that draws us in to the story and engages us.

Chitra Gopalakrishnan, a New Delhi-based journalist and a social development communications consultant uses her ardor for writing, wing to wing, to break firewalls between nonfiction and fiction, narratology and psychoanalysis, marginalia and manuscript and tree-ism and capitalism.
