From the Author:
From the Back Cover:
- If the trendy appears fickle to you and the traditional is boring
- If logic sometimes misses the point and emotions cloud the vision
- If yesterday is just a torch and tomorrow has infinite possibilities
- If the truth is a shadow's shadow and the possible is all there is
- If doubt is a friendly companion and certainty is just another option
- If answers are not what you seek but questions is what you enjoy
- If all the above are fine by you then I wish you an enjoyable read.
Ramiz Alkhishin, the author's alter ego, is a grocer. He has a passion for a life that is as independent as possible from its surroundings. To him the 'trendy' place to be in is the one to avoid, while the traditional road to follow is the one to by-pass.
You may have met him before in his books: Fortune Cookies; Sketches; The Bazaar; The Balcony; The Lobby; The Tango of Gossip; Why Me, The Smiling Owl and the Whispering Molecules.

The theme behind The Broken Horoscope is simple. It basically states that the more we try to pack individuals in pre-defined character slots in order to predict their future behaviour the less likely are we to make any sense of what we subsequently observe their behaviour to be.
The book is intended to explore through imaginary dialogues the philosophical axiom that surprise is the essence of life and that human fickleness is its only anchor and 'maybe' is its only compass.
