English: "Death of a Taxi Driver" is a fascinating journey into inner space written with sparkling romanticism. This is an intense and exciting tragedy of Everyman on the streets of Toronto. Amidst the riches of Canada's premier city, an immigrant taxi driver pursues a Proletarian destiny - he has committed a crime and has undergone a harrowing time through the slow and onerous courts. Meantime he lives free with his sense of precious freedom, and like the proverbial Dutchman, roams Toronto's streets in endless circles, ruminating on his fate and his miseries - one of which is a vicious love triangle, until he decides to break the mirror of fate and end his life, and with it, the misery and mental suffering that he carried around for a long time.

The story of "Death of a Taxi Driver" itself is elegiac, beating with slow philosophical wings cascaded wonderfully in the sparkling stream of dramatic events. At the same time, it is realistic with a purpose - to connect its readers with concurrent social and political issues and an urge for a sustainable political journey to an aspired direction. It connotes a deathly state of the mind of the main character Mallick who raises his voice with others against the existing justice system.

For anyone, whether Western, Arab, Oriental, African or Latin American, this fiction is a cry from the bottom of Mallick's heart that reverberates in this sad tale of agonizing loneliness and the seeming uselessness of human life that has no other purpose in its solemn journey but utility and productivity in a society which only appreciates economic value.
