Soft cover. Zustand: New. A night watchman at a sawmill on the edge of a forest tries to forge a bond with a lone fox; a mysterious woman arrives on a night train in the town of Madampi, leaving in her wake lovers withering and paralysed; the great communist leader 'AKG' mistakenly boards the general compartment of the Malabar Express and is horrified by the scene that meets his eye; a lonely station master at a derelict railway station erects on the platform a stuffed doll in his own image; a migrant labourer reads out his PhD thesis to the camels he's herding in the Gulf; Isa is declared dead from Covid in Dubai and deported to India, where ghosts are unwelcome. Shihabuddin Poithumkadavu's 'socio-horror' writings, as he calls them, dissect the hair-raising manipulations of power. Moving seamlessly between the real and the surreal, these finely crafted stories shine a light on the anxieties of the disenfranchised, the would-be preys. Macabre as they are, Shihabuddin's prose is also replete with tender, heart-warming beautyas in life, so in these tales, the light is never quite far from the dark and the unsavoury. Making Shihabuddin Poithumkadavu's work accessible to the English-reading public for the very first time, J. Devika's stellar translation of his stories marks the arrival of a world-class writer in a new language.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Translated for the first time into English, these 29 pieces of early writings of Malayali women (18981938)Nambutiris, Nairs, Ezhavas, Syrian Christians and two Muslimswho had access to education, reveal the vigorous debate over modern gender relations that was taking place. Women reflected on what was 'Womanly' and on education, duties, vocation and civil rolesan ongoing discussion, first influenced by reformism and later by nationalist and communist ideas. In her new Preface for this reprint, author talks of how the collection offers many genealogies for Malayali feminism, making it both local and cosmopolitan. Indeed, this genealogy enables us to address many of the challenges that mainstream feminism in India now faces, for example, that of developing intersectional analyses of patriarchal oppression. Taken together, these pieces are efforts to define, in their unique ways, 'women's perspectives' as specifically oppositional standpoints. Many are replies, rejoinders and responses to male public figures who claimed to speak on behalf of a 'general good', especially of women. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. In a small village in Kerala, people begin to feel threatened by an invisible rooster that crows at odd hours. It is heard interrupting the morning and night prayers at the temple, the mass at the church, the azaan at the mosque and the Martyrs' Day ceremony. When it hoots in the middle of the national anthem being sung at the local school, it is instantly labelled as a threat to national security. It offends the sentiments of all those who are religious, political, patriarchal, exploitative, fanatical and homophobic. Naturally, there are many baying for its blood. The witch-hunt that ensues fuels suspicions that the invisible cock might even be a human, an anarchist who is trying to destabilize the nation with help from outside. Incisive and hilarious by turns, The Cock Is the Culprit does an astute job of exposing the dark underbelly of Kerala society.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The latest collection of Unni R's short stories in translation shines with the tone of self-critique so characteristic of his earlier writing, gentle and penetrating at the same time. His world still comprises mostly the rural and peri-urban areas of Kottayam, his birthplace. It emerges through his words as a place with layers of life that lie beyond the merely human the birds, animals, spirits, Jesus, Satan and even inanimate things have their role and place in it.The stories feature a whole range of situations and characters, who are forever assailed by an awareness of their own vulnerability. In 'Malayali Memorial', the protagonist is a low-lying, wily and seemingly powerless man in a stridently casteist family; the young man in 'Boy and Girl' is the weepy sort, yet his powerless tears seem to have the power to soften the resolve of a confident young woman. Further, this collection includes Unni's experiments with the short story form. Overall, these stories break open the hardened shells of our existence, so that empathy and compassion may find their way out.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. From the award-winning author of Hangwoman. Late one night in November 2016, Satyapriya, a middle-aged professional living alone in a big city, is attacked by an unidentified assailant. Though she escapes unhurt, a conversation with her paralysed father reveals that this was no random incident but the latest in a series of attempts to kill her. And when he dies unexpectedly soon after, a devastated Satyapriya sets out to unravel the conspiracy coiling around her. Beginning at the height of India's demonetization drive and culminating on the anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, this is a novel that raises uncomfortable questions of identity and gender in a country where power, patriarchy, caste and money conspire every day to shape the contours of women's lives. K.R. Meera's Assassin - originally published in Malayalam as Ghathakan, and brilliantly translated by J. Devika - is a genre-defying magnum opus that every Indian must read.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The living pulsating and ever-changing entity that is Kerala is best represented by its astute critical and deeply insightful writers of the Malayalam short story and in Feeling Kerala a selection of some of the best and sharpest narratives from the region is now translated and curated for English readers to love and cherish. While staying true to its literary form these stories provide a tour into the heart and soul of contemporary Kerala and aim at getting past the twentieth-century characterizations of the state say as defined by communist egalitarian spirit or matrilineal families. After all Kerala is unique in more ways than one thanks to the heightened experience of migration and transnationalism among other things. This collection also succinctly encapsulates the varied landscapes of Kerala: the highlands the coastal areas and the growing urban centres. They move in and out of homes and take the readers into older spaces-convents and panchayats-and the new spaces of the capital-airports and tourist resorts-as well as the world of criminals.…
