STORIZEN   INTERVIEW
Can you tell us
about your book,
Anon? What is it
all about?
‘Anon.’ – the
abbreviation of
‘Anonymous’ that

It delves into the
strange relationship
that authors have
with their creations,
their stories, the
journey they
embark upon, the
depths they plunge
into and the
triumphs they rise
to in their process
of creation.

test to validate the
parentage of
‘Hamlet’ to William
Shakespeare or
‘Sunflowers’ to Van

Can an artist really
claim ownership to
his art? Or is he
