Soft cover. Zustand: New. The goons of a mining giant kidnap a tribal activist and force him to shoot a porn film with a prostitute who turns out to be his childhood sweetheart; a cobbler skins his daughter's hanging corpse to make the special pair of 'Cinderella shoes' he had once promised her; a lesbian nurse with bovine featu…res becomes enamoured of a patient and begins to stalk her. Indu Menon's stories are not for the fainthearted. At the centre of all their blood, gore and broken bones lies the inveterate spirit of women who will not go down without a fight. And yet, the unvarnished truths of her fiction also blend in unexpected ways with her poetic imagination as well as her inventive prose. Many have observed that Menon's chutzpah and visceral storytelling make her a worthy successor to Kamala Das. Appearing in English for the first time, The Lesbian Cow and Other Stories will make you marvel at the grit and raw fierceness of one of contemporary Malayalam literature's most electric writers.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. A bestseller in Malayalam when it was first published in 2019 as Karthavinte Namathil, In the Name of the Lord is a harrowing account of Sister Lucy Kalapura's life as a nun and her spirited fight for justice. Cast out for writing a poem, for owning a car, for talking about the sexual harassment that nu…ns face in the Church, Sr Lucy reveals what it was like for her to join a nunnery hoping to lead a life of faith and service but to instead be confronted with unexpected and bone-chilling realities. She presents an unsettling narrative about nuns who have no choice but to surrender to the lechery of their male counterparts, as well as about issues such as corruption within the Church, the distorted faces of authority, the partisanship of the state, and the much-talked-about recent sexual assault case involving the Bishop of Jalandhar. At a time when women continue to hesitate to report the sexual misconduct they face at home, at their workplaces and in society, this no-holds-barred memoir of a nun who has taken on the all-powerful Catholic Church by herself will inspire many to speak up for themselves as well as to think about how India treats its women.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. FROM THE WINNER OF KERALA SAHITYA AKADEMI AWARDS 2019 & 2021 Lightning Tusker is tranquilised and corralled with the help of Dr Tharappan. This is no ordinary elephant; he's the embodiment of 'Elephantam', the very essence of all that is good in the universe. His captors are filled with its nemesis, the… dark energy known as 'Misophantam'. It permeates men like Gunner Chandy who had killed Lightning Tusker's father, Peacock Plum, for his tusks the colour of peacock feathers. Granny Elephant knows this. She also knows how the universe originated: the tussle between Elephantam and Misophantam, good and evil, how they crashed into one another, caused the Big Bang. She tells the baby elephants in her herd that Elephantam and Misophantam have existed in the sky and on this earth ever since. She can also sense that an elephant in their midst, known to be weak and reclusiveand tusklessis in fact magical. This is the story of two brothers: Lightning Tusker, the bravest young elephant in the forest, and Tuskless Tusker, written off by everyone as a lost cause. It's also a story about friendship and courage, about human greed and hubris. From one of Malayalam's most celebrated young writers, comes a tale that moves and entertains in equal measure.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Translated by the joint-winner of the JCB Prize for Literature 2021. The Sampark Kranti Express is travelling from Thiruvananthapuram to Chandigarh. It's pulling a vintage steam engine called the Wanderer, which will be exhibited in the Republic Day parade in Delhi. This train travelling across the leng…th of India carries a cross-section of the Indian populace. One of its travellers, Karamchand (named so after Mahatma Gandhi), through the intersection of his observations along the journey, his memories, and the history of the places the train passes through creates a fantastic, parallel journey along the one he is already on. Landmarks in the history of Indiathe construction of railways in India by the British, the notorious Portuguese sailor Almeida's attacks on ports in Kerala, the 1857 mutiny, the Chauri Chaura incident, the Godhra riots find mention in the novel. Among the travellers on the train are John, a British wildlife photographer; three TTEs; an Indian woman carrying a Pakistani man's child; a sex worker who is a rape victim; Gujarati pilgrims returning from Rameshwaram; even Narendra Dabholkar, with whom Karamchand discussion the ideas of nation and nationalism, though Dabholkar is killed en route. V. Shinilal's award-winning political novel, The Wanderer talks about reservation, farmer suicides and many other burning issues. The themes of caste, class and gender are depicted through different characters as well as the structure of the train. Karamchand's statement, 'a train is a small biopsy section of India' perfectly sums up this very pertinent novel.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Adhikarathil family had a distinguished history. It prospered both in terms of wealth and eminence, acquiring the status of royalty in Malabar, Kerala, until the birth of a child named Eranimos shocked everyone. Unlike his fair-skinned, Christian forebears, Eranimos was born dark-skinned, leading to… controversial conjectures about his lineage. Blackened tells the story of its protagonist's quest to discover the truth behind his dark skin and caste identity. But weaved into this personal tale are multiple layers of Kerala's social and political histories―its caste conflicts, its massive waves of conversion and migration, its clashing belief systems, and its rural and urban divide. Originally published as Karikkottakkary in Malayalam, Blackened is an impactful bildungsroman that covers the arc of a conflicted life, and shows us how family histories are tied into the larger historical currents that form communities and shape destinies.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. A Thousand Cuts is a harrowing, sobering and ultimately inspiring autobiography of Professor T.J. Joseph, who in 2010 became the victim of a brutal terrorist assault, accused of blasphemy after setting an exam question that enraged fundamentalists. This book is an important reminder of the pernicious ef…fect of religious extremism and the duty of every person to speak out against those who would silence free expression' SHASHI THAROOR 'There is excruciating agony here, but also black humour and irony that enliven and lighten the narrative even at the height of anguish' K. SATCHIDANANDAN 'The poignant tale, with its sense of urgency and helplessness, has been sensitively translated as A Thousand Cuts' RANA SAFVI In 2010, T.J. Joseph, a professor of Malayalam at Newman College, Kerala, framed an innocuous question for an internal examination that changed his life forever. Following a trumped-up charge of blasphemy, members of a radical Islamist organization set upon him in public, viciously maiming him and chopping off his right hand. His memoir, told with amazing restraint and wry humour, is the moving tale of his life and family as they went through hell and beyond. Here's the extraordinary story of a man who survived dismembering only to be betrayed by his own Church. Let alone stand by him, it robbed him of his livelihood and isolated him from his community, driving Joseph's long-suffering wife to melancholia and eventual suicide. Joseph's story is one of fortitude, will power, forgiveness and compassion, told with rare wit that will make readers chuckle through their tears. This is a tale that will leave the reader seething, weeping and smiling by turns.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The remote village of Perumpadi, at the border between Kerala and Karnataka, is a unique settlement. Bounded by dense Kodagu forests on the south and west, and raging rivers on the north and east, its very isolation was what drew the first settlers to this unharnessed land. The first to make his way acr…oss this rough terrain was Kunjuvarkey, along with a young woman bearing his child. Kunjuvarkey was fleeing the opprobrium of getting his own daughter pregnant. Those who followed had similar shameful secrets. In a land of sinners, where no one pried into the other's past, they were able to live and build a community without being tied down by society's interdictions. Fifty years later, as the community moves into modernity, they start showing signs of reforming from their beginnings-of a hillbilly and promiscuous existence. With no panchayats to resolve local disputes, following in his father's footsteps, Jeremias Paul of Reformation House, known by the moniker President, becomes the unchallenged adjudicator of Perumpadi, thanks to his equanimity and sense of fairness. But Jeremias has his own secrets and, ultimately, may have to answer for his own moral lapse. Anthill, a robust translation of the award-winning novel Puttu and with a cast of over 200 characters, tells the story of a people who have tried to shed the shackles of family, religion and other restraining institutions, but eventually also struggle to conform to the needs of a cultured society. Written with disarming honesty and biting humour, Anthill is ultimately a story that questions the veneer of respectability people try to put up in their lives.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. WITH A FOREWORD BY N.S. MADHAVAN Seetha, an Indian national and a student at the University of Barcelona, arrives in Diyarbakir, Turkey, in search of her Kurdish lover Devran. Having just found out that she is pregnant, she is desperate to find Devran, who has mysteriously vanished. Seetha discovers som…e disturbing truths upon her arrival. The state is trying to trap Devran and his family for alleged terrorist links. The region is in the midst of a harrowing conflagration, where state-sponsored killings, enforced disappearances, political vendettas and torture cells are the norm. Seetha herself comes under surveillance of the Turkish security forces, who take her into custody and brutally torture her. In the scramble to rescue Sita from their clutches, many find themselves caught up in the conflict between the Kurds and the Turkish government. Set against the 2015- 16 Turkish repression of the Kurdistan movement, Zî n is a novel in which an ordinary love story between people of two different nationalities and cultures is flung into an unexpected, extraordinary political and historical setting. The pacey and emotionally stirring novel throws light on how governments reduce minority communities to a lower status and use them as a tool to seize power-- a situation that's become all too familiar across the world.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Bounded by dense Kodagu forests on the south and west, and rivers on the north and east, Perumbadi, at the border between Kerala and Karnataka, has hidden itself from the world. Its very isolation has attracted varied settlers from south Kerala over the years. The first settler on this land, Kunji Varkey…, was fleeing the opprobrium of getting his own daughter pregnant. Those who followed had similar shameful secrets. Anthill, the exquisite translation from the Malayalam of the Kerala Sahitya Akademi-winning novel Puttu, is the story of common people who tried to wriggle out of the shackles of family, religion and other restraining institutions, but eventually also struggle to civilize themselves-from their beginnings of a hillbilly existence and life as a promiscuous community. As Perumbadi moves into modernity and feels the need for refined justice, Jeremias comes to be known by the moniker President and becomes the unchallenged adjudicator of Perumbadi, thanks to his equanimity and sense of fairness. However, even as he resolves local disputes, he is troubled by developments in his own home and by his own moral failure. One of the most promising young writers in Malayalam, Vinoy Thomas, in his bestselling second novel, deploys dark humour to question the moral codes that bind society. Ultimately, this is also a story about the human race.
