Asymmetrical and Alive

Bol

This is not a self-help book. There are no lessons. There is no arrival. Asymmetrical and Alive is the story of a young woman moving through her mid-twenties; a researcher from the Himalayan region of India who wanted a Nobel Prize and a mountain farm and a cat and coffee and to lead the AI revolution and to disappear from it entirely, all at the same time. She starts talking about ecstasy boots and gelato and ends up somewhere much deeper, one layer at a time.It is about desire that splits in two directions at once. About the fear of being hollow rather than ordinary. About the moment other people stop being background characters and become entire worlds. About saying the thing out loud and finding out that chaos can take a shape without losing its nature.It is structured like a train journey. You get on somewhere around mushrooms and Lebanese food and a girl who keeps insisting she is not an author. By the time you reach the last chapter, you will know whether she was telling the truth. She was not. Asymmetrical and Alive is imperfect and incomplete and completely alive. Just like its author. Just like you.
