A review by richa087
Nude Before God by Shiv K. Kumar

3.0

This book is about an artist (who only paints nudes) and his unforeseen death at the behest of.his wife's lover. Post death, his soul meets Yama (the death God) and he's given the power to roam around the earth, listen to everybody's thoughts and see how people are reacting/feeling after his death. The book flows smoothly, is dry at some places but then picks up again easily. There are some life lessons therein as well , the one that struck closest home was that God themselves say that we didn't make any categorizations among humans, it's humans who themselves created religions, castes and kill over anything and everything (read cow) which is something I firmly believe in. This was such a random pick from Daryaganj market and I a glad I picked it up.
