A most compelling and experimental novel, this story is set on the campus of the university in Tirupati, where the author earned his master’s degree. Breaking away from the conventional form, it has no chapters, no named characters — only raw emotion and vivid moments flowing seamlessly over twelve transformative hours. The narrative stretches and folds across multiple points in time within a single day, capturing microscopic human insights and sweeping revelations with equal finesse. Written in the 1980s and waiting quietly for its moment, this rediscovered work feels remarkably fresh and daring even today. The author’s evocative prose style draws readers into a shifting, emotionally charged world that lingers long after the final page. A literary gem, ahead of its time, finally stepping into the light.
