Between Burning Realities is Shahan Pervez's fifth book of creative nonfiction. He recounts his experiences over the past three years, such as his exposure to the depths of exploitation and encounters with deeper forms of pain and stress which made him reflect on life and the human psyche. He learned the hard way that your selected career might fail you and leave you distressed, but he discovered a solution and offers it to the readers so they won't have to endure what he suffered.
The essays in this book range in subject matter and tone, from personal reflection to critical analysis. While each piece has its own unique elements, they all share a common message: no matter how low you feel after a failure or tragedy, you have an incredible capacity to overcome adversity and grow. One must strive towards a better version of oneself by burning all insufficiencies. Through personal essays, the author not only expresses himself but also offers inspiration and approaches to intractable human problems.
