No One Goes Gentle into that Good Night

The New Indian Express Tirupati

The writing focuses on the death of a young woman, setting her family and neighbourhood into a frenzy of questions

- GANESH SAILI

This novella is a 13-day story from start to finish. In this time and space, who has more time than is necessary to deal with death and regeneration? To the author, "A city has its language. It is the language the people of the city speak." So how does one write in the mother tongue of the city? It is in no way the mother tongue of the writer. Neither is it Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, or Hindi. In Bengaluru, it is not Kannada because Kannada speakers do not make up even half the population of this city. The death of a young woman galvanises her family and neighbourhood into a frenzy of questions and unlikely discoveries.
