The reader of the novel ‘A Road Side Saga’ might think that the events described in it are impossible and hence are fantasies, but when similar events realistically take place, as it happened, for example, in Sri Lanka in the late 1980’s, the reader would still think that it is impossible. The reader or the observer thus oscillates between the reality and the fantasy. Fantasies are realities and realities are fantasies. The novel ‘A Road-Side Saga’ beautifully intersects the reality and fantasy.
