This book includes 10 selected books of Zakir Hossain, an internationally recognized Poet, Actor, Researcher, Essayist, Novelist, Scriptwriter, and Filmmaker.. Those who have never read his books or read one or two only will now have the opportunity to enjoy his versatility as a writer. His no work resembles another, sometimes they are in such opposite dimensions that it is hard to believe that they are written by the same author. Some are dark and depressed, while others are bright and humorous, sometimes they are poetic, theatrical, or lyrical, while other times they are factual and journalistic; it is hard to define him as a writer within any particular category. These 10 books - 4 novels of different sizes and around 300 hundred poems - are examples of how he jumps from one subject to another, one style to another style spontaneously. It is the truth about not only his novels or poems but also his film, theatre, and nonfictional works. In a word, his works are multidimensional, multi-layered, and experimental. Even in one particular piece of work, we find elements of different art and literary genres. Coming back to these particular ten books, two of them are documentary-novels on human rights issues. In the shadow of the red-light is on the Sex Trade in Southeast Asia while The Auction is on Forced Marriages in the British Asian community. On the other hand, two novellas, The Serpentine Light and Table Number 7 stand apart with their unique styles and subjects. The Serpentine Light is a theatrical and poetic experimentation with a biblical myth where Satan is found as a hero, not God. And Table Number 7 is a dramatic comedy of love affairs, a young man is taken to the court for cheating on four women by having romantic relationships with all of them at the same time. Similarly, his poems are all different from each other, covering all shades of human emotions. Some are long, some are short, some are mundane, some are spiritual, some are sad, and some are joyful. they travel through all dimensions of human existence. The six books that are selected for this book are Secret code: Madness?, The Colours of Love, Deathlessness, Both and Neither, A Single Drop of Tear, and 'The rhythm of the cracked land''.
