Age
Radha Krishna opts for voluntary retirement from a Government School in Krishna Patnam when it gets difficult for him to get through the day without rum. He goes back to his house in the city to pass his days drinking and doing absolutely nothing.
With no interest in anything in life except getting drunk, he gets through his days largely being bored, lonely, or hungry. When his tenants, a widow, and her daughter, start noticing him, his life gets entangled with theirs in ways he couldn’t stop He wants them out of his life, but finds himself unable to push them away from his house.
What follows is an ordinary tale of a rather boring man who has no redeeming characteristics, told with no poignance, insight, drama, or style. A dull chronicle of the life of a man who doesn’t have anything to offer to anyone, Age doggedly follows him into his vagueness and insists on painstakingly documenting moments from his life that are best left discarded or forgotten.
A work of desperate bleakness, enduring futility, and all-pervading boredom that challenges readers to turn the page and asks them what they were looking for at every turn of it.
