A grief-stricken father in 1990s Madras, Ousep Chacko, obsessively investigates why his brilliant, enigmatic teenage son Unni took his own life three years earlier. As Ousep digs through Unni's comic strips and the people who knew him, the novel unfolds as a darkly comic, philosophical family drama about memory, delusion, and the elusive nature of truth. It is literary fiction rather than a romance novel, blending mystery with satire about an eccentric Indian Christian household.
