Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India

Charu Nivedita

Cāru Nivētitā

Pritham K. Chakravarthy

With its mad patchwork of phone sex conversations, nightmarish torture scenes, tender love poems, numerology, mythology, and compulsive name-dropping of Latin American intellectuals, Charu Nivedita's novel Zero Degree stands out as a groundbreaking work of South Indian transgressive fiction that unflinchingly probes the deepest psychic wounds of humanity. "Zero Degree takes you apart and allows you to rearrange yourself as you please."

Zero Degree

Features short stories in the genres of mystery, romance, noir, and science fiction that were originally published in Tamil pulp magazines, along with illustrations and short interviews with some of the authors.

Muthulakshmi P. är exakt en meter lång. När hon mäter sig hos sjuksköterskan frågar hon hur lång hon kommer bli när hon blir stor. Sjuksköterskan säger att det kan ingen veta. Hon får enkelt vänta och se. Hon tänker att hon kanske kan bli dubbelt så lång som hon är nu. Då blir hon två meter lång. Varför inte dubbelt så lång som två meter? Dubbelt så lång som fyra meter? Dubbelt så lång som åtta meter? Fast då kanske hon så småningom skulle bli för lång... "Dubbelt så stor" är ursprungligen utgiven av StoryWeaver och tillhör serien "Läs tillsammans". Flera av berättelserna är skrivna av indiska författare och utspelar sig på andra sidan jorden. Framförallt utforskar de spännande ämnen såsom vetenskapliga upptäckter och hur vi bäst tar hand om varandra såväl som vår planet.
