Description
A nightwatchman 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 beauty?as 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.
