Vivek’s Notes

The Kerala literary superstar's latest is a nailbiter from beginning to end. Translated by J Devika, it begins with a close shave with death for a woman living in the big city, who realises the incident is much more complicated than that. Believed to invoke Gauri Lankesh's murder; Meera has said it is perhaps the most personal fiction she has ever written.
