Comes Responsibility

by Tarek Azad

Join the dull journey and baseless first-person storytelling of a student who ventured overseas to attend university. This man, a recurring fictional character archetype found in novels written by the author, embarks on his journey, seemingly influenced by nothing of importance or meaningful to him. Throughout the story, the readers are left with inconclusive information about this peculiar man. Far from any significant relevance concerning a particular subject matter, the protagonist's contradiction in speech and action only adds to the bizarre and ever-changing narrative style of the author. Satirical, intimate, vulgar, and pedagogical, the story leads to all the powerful forces that surround the individual.

Through the story and its characters, the author explores the subcultures of the modern world that reside in numerous variations among people but ultimately suggests that all interpretations lead to the same truth that has already been discovered. As if the truth lies in its interpretation and not in finding truth itself.

Tarek Azad (1999-) is an Asian-born, Canadian writer, theorist and architect. Widely known among his peers as distinctly concise, direct, satirical, prurient, and peculiar, the dialogues and thoughts of the main characters portrayed in his writings are inspired by such traits. Comes Responsibility was written over five years and was initially produced to be one of the Author’s most prominent story novel, however, upon completion, he declared that it was merely another pseudo version of his first novel, only written in first-person and urged his readers to ‘not waste time reading it'. In his opinion, his novel,Sand Escape, essentially a mockery, remains and undisputedly will always be his greatest work.

About the author

In light of anyone, anything, and, or, all that may reside within it, your answer lies in your inquiry, if any, and more so in your doubt, which, I can only hope you possess. As far as my entity on his webform goes, in light of your inquiry, the answer lies in the oddity of the picture that I was able to post and our insanity therein. As our elusive profoundness persists; Why? One asks, ironic, as why knows no answer. What, one asks, one can only wish, but substance has no meaning. And how so, but how hasn't made its way, yet. Rest of the interrogations are merely relative.
