Raoul Eshelman, literary heavyweight, critic [Germany] , post post- modernist thinker writes about harikumar's aphorisms



M.K. Harikumar’s aphorisms reveal him

to be a keen and critical observer of the

human condition as well

as a resourceful thinker who grapples

with both quotidian and eternal problems.

His skepticism towards many aspects of

contemporary civilization is counterbalanced


by a quest for spiritual values in nature

and in human life itself. In his striving to think outside

the bounds of convention,

he makes us aware of forces

larger than ourselves.


Raoul Eshelman (b. 1956) is a scholar of Slavic literature who grew up in America but has spent most of his professional life in Germany. He received his B.A. from Rutgers University (USA) in 1978 and his Ph.D. in Slavic Literature from Konstanz University (Germany) in 1988. At present he is a Professor of Comparative Literature at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich. He is married and has two children.
