His book 'Burgundy Winters in Europe' has made it to the top of their list, which makes his credibility as an author shine on a global platform.
The ELA (Ex Libris Arcana) is an exclusive book club founded in 1921 by the women of New York City’s founding families at the Smiths' residence in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards. The club strongly believes in the offline culture of reading books as against the internet culture where all the readings are available on a virtual platform. Physical form of reading is termed as 'street culture' by the vice president of the club Wayne Kennedy. The elite club brings out its list of selected books every year, which they shortlist from a vast list of writings by esteemed authors whose work has been known for its quality and impressive content. This year's addition has one name from India who has made the country proud by shining on a global platform, he is Pranay V. Patil, whose book 'Burgundy Winters in Europe' has been selected in the must-read list for next year, which is quite impressive by all standards.
It's interesting to know that Pranay Patil is also the board president at Manhattan’s Honest Foundation in Hudson Yards, which automatically qualifies him to an ELA membership. For many who are unaware, Mr. Patil spent his educative years in an all-boys Doon school and completed his mechanical engineering from Germany. He has spent the past decade living amidst the most unfavourable environments of rural India, understanding their way of living and enriching them with the right knowledge. Owing to his experience living amongst the underprivileged and high society has given him an in-depth perspective of life deeply. He has seen the best of both worlds, which has given him the privilege to dwell deep into each subject and bring out the best through his writings. His debut novel has already created enough buzz and is expected to breach the pre-release order targets. Such has been the impact of his work that various manuscript review requests have been pouring in, according to Kennedy, which has never been seen in any other authors' case earlier.
Pranay has been traveling extensively around Europe during his early days at the university in Germany, which enriched his knowledge about the history of the region complete with its legends who walked the soil which reflect a lot in his novel's characters. The romantic genre that he has penned is set in the early 2000s in Europe. You can feel every character depicted in the novel, especially those of Jace and Yasmine. It's a one of its kind fictional writing which will enthrall readers till no end. Get your hands on this masterpiece before it vanishes off the shelves coming December.
