The Artists by Amit Anand
4.0

"The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life."- William Faulkner.
Are artists born or made? There is always this question raised when we talk about artists. I believe one can be born with natural creativity, but passion, training, devotion, and perseverance towards the chosen art are vital to becoming an Artist.
The Artists by Amit Anand is a story of three artists: Aarav, a pianist, Suhana, a Ballet dancer, and Manvita, a theater actor. All three artists met in a train journey and shared their struggle and passion for their respective art.
I love the way Anand narrates their immense love for their art passionately. As a debut novel, I must say I am impressed with the author's lucid and emotionally blended writing. This is a simple and relatable story; sometimes, the simplicity in stories makes the book interesting and entertaining, and Anand does just that through this book.
