Osip Bala Krishnan falls for his English teacher at boarding school, and when she disappears the search pulls him through his own family history and into stranger territory still.
C.P. Surendran mixes psychological drama with satire and social commentary, moving between institutions, politics and private obsession. The novel is interested in how memory edits itself, how belonging gets negotiated, and what a person will accept as an explanation, and it keeps a sharp comic edge while doing so.
Small details, big difference:
• A hardback literary novel from an established Indian writer
• Satire and psychological drama held in the same narrative
• Concerns of memory, identity, mental health and belonging
• A search for a missing woman that opens onto family secrets
For readers of contemporary South Asian fiction and character-led literary novels, available at Boipoka.
