The Illusory River-Yuvan Chandrasekar
Regular price Rs. 400.00
A tragic tale of the life of a failed Hindustani vocalist who performed but once on stage. The book poignantly traces what drove Dhananjay across that slippery line that the world draws between sanity and madness, and the pain that wrings and mangles the hearts of those who feel life and art a little too deeply. At the same time, the novel figures as a revelry of Hindustani music with its profound knowledge and appreciation of the classical art form.

A Country Vanishes/Ranendra
Regular price Rs. 500.00
Journalist Kishan Vidrohi has been
murdered...or not. There is no witness, no
evidence, and no corpse. His bedclothes are
bloodied and arrows stained with blood have been found in his room.
With the media playing down the death, his protégé sets out to discover the truth. Through the murder - if it is indeed murder - he learns the history of the city and
the country that vanished beneath it. The real estate business, hydropower companies, and transport and urban planners, have descended on virgin land promising development, to a people who find themselves in a place they no
longer own and can barely name. Are they
doomed to life in this realisation of the mythical Lemuria Islands, or will they regain the land of their ancestors?
Playing on myth and magic realism, even while looking at a story that has staged in every part of any developing nation with natural resources on offer, Ranendra forces us to examine the grey shades in the conflict between tribal rights and urbanisation in his
A Country Vanishes.

A Bridge to Peradeniya-Anand Krishnaswamy
Regular price Rs. 320.00
A dog that wins everyone’s affection by barking and laughing madly through her ailment. A stud bull that conveys the melancholy in his soul through his eyes. A kiosk owner whose sunny personality bounces off the tree stump where he leaves food for the neighbourhood strays. A chic lady with a rescued street dog and a penchant for profanity.
These are some of the colorful characters that the author encounters when he turns his life upside down and leaves his hometown Chennai to go and study veterinary medicine in the beautiful tropical island of Sri Lanka.
Often hilarious, occasionally sad, speaking of friendship, dreams, challenges, and love, these are the stories of the author’s unforgettably mad ride through veterinary college in Sri Lanka and early years as a newly-qualified veterinary doctor in south India.
Blue in the Door Frame-Neyamukil K M
Regular price Rs. 100.00
Deborah Treisman was only 11 years old when she sent her first story to The New Yorker magazine. The New Yorker pays the highest amount to the stories it published. The story was rejected. In 22 years Deborah became the editor of Fiction in the same magazine that rejected her story.
I thought of Neyamukil when I read this. She is only 9 years old and has written a poem under the title AUTUMN. It goes like this.
If I were a creature,
That ate the ground,
I would devour the road as chips
As I ride on my cycle.
Autumn is so crunchy!
The imagery of devouring the road as chips is unique and playful. It reminds of the poems by Billy Collins, former poet laureate of the USA. I am confident Neyamukil will attain great heights. I wish her all the best.
- A Muttulingam, Pre-eminent writer in Modern Tamil literature
Children’s minds are fresh and quirky, full of energy, yet it is the rare child who feels driven to commit her words to the page. Neyamukil’s poems are heartfelt, wide-ranging, and filled with inquiry. The sun becomes female; riding a bike endows the rider with zooming pleasure. Justice and humility are obliquely elevated. Small moments of hope and joy are painted in light strokes. Here is a young writer who loves words and is unafraid to express her vision of the world.
—Uma Krishnaswami, writer and author of books for young readers

Disarmingly, charmingly simple, this book will give readers much to think about.
- Usha Nagasamy, Further Education teacher, London
When will you die?- an emotion in itself that many of us avoid and fear comes out as a beautiful literary rendition by Jayanthi Sankar and will stay a mystery and an enigma years after its time and haunt our hidden traumas, insecurities in ways we could never imagine.
- Sredhanea Ramkrishnan, Food technologist and upcoming author, India
Zooming in like a camera to explore the aspects of the human psyche at various levels across the vast framework of society at large, the brevity of this postmodern socio psychological novella fascinates me.
- Ethan Wynn, FinTech Analyst, Houston, USA
Jayanthi Sankar skillfully depicts human complexities with quite a few nuanced surprises in store in the epistolary novella When Will You Die? It leaves the reader reflecting on the toll relationships can take on humans, what it is to live after losing your moorings, and what it means to be torn apart by affection and hate.
- Dr. Revathy Sivasubramaniam, UX Researcher, Chennai, India
Another fresh work of fiction and storytelling with profound ideas that will intrigue many readers, as it did me. Left with countless lingering thoughts and debates, I haven’t been able to come out of it.
- Liu Fang, Further Education teacher, Hong Kong
The main characters in the novella for their own reasons do not share significant incidents of their lives and this effectively depicts the shallowness of modern day, contemporary relationships.
- P. Muralidharan, Writer, Chennai, India

Lost In Your Facade-Nivedita K S
Regular price Rs. 350.00
‘I started reading this book with very little interest and hope. But, just reading the first chapter, two things impressed me. One: The narrative was very natural. Two: Nivedita knew how to craft a convincing story’- Charu Nivedita.
Arjun: Living with too good people is sometimes hard.
Concern and anger, their regular weapons to subdue me.
To make me a safe bet. Which I am not.
I salute them. But that’s where my respect ends.
If they think I am going to fail, then they hadn’t done their math right.
I am here to lead not to fall back and take orders.
And of all, I don’t wear fear so well. And that scares a few.
My ambition, dreams and my LIFE take the center stage.
And of course, my two friends, who are kind enough to ruin my sanity, most of the time.
Call me arrogant or conceited? I don’t care. But I promise you something…
Tomorrow is going to be just spectacular because it is mine you are going to witness.
Jaanavi: Packed my bags to place me far away from my home. To let go of my chained past.
And this new place is a safe bet.
I am just the one who takes whatever comes on the way.
And I succeed at every hoop fire. Because like it or not, I try to fit myself in, even in a cage.
Though my soul wants to creep out of me and cry out loud to someone close, it just couldn’t.
Call me a loser or coward? Well, I am sorry.
This is Jaanavi, hopeful of a simple tomorrow.
What if they realize they are not the one they think they are once their lives collide?
