D. Ramakrishnan] takes the Malayalam novel to new heights and fresh possibilities’ HINDUWhat makes us human?Twelve people accompany an anthropologist to a deserted island, cutting off all relations with the outside world. There, an experiment begins. They are not to use any known languages and must begin anew – to explore and find out if they can achieve in twenty-five years what humanity has achieved over generations. Twenty-five years later, only three of the thirteen have survived. As these three survivors recount their tale, what emerges is a story of humanity returned to its primitive roots, bereft of attachment, and not nearly as utopian as was expected.Award-winning writer T. D. Ramakrishnan’s debut novel, translated for the first time to English, explores through a powerfully imaginative conceit the meaning of relationships, attachments, love, hate and anger. Above all, it seeks to answer the question: what does it mean to be human?  2LiteratureaEnglish Literature930275  aNair, Priya K; Tr.930276  2ddccBK  c222465d222465  00102ddc40708MAENGaSACPGbSACPGd2022-03-11eBiblios Book Pointg467.22l2o820.33 RAMApPG023847r2024-02-15 00:00:00s2024-02-06v599.00w2022-03-08yBK
