"Hailed as Malayalam's first novel to tick all boxes to be a novel, Indulekha's eponymous heroine has been hailed as the model of free and independent woman and also as the brand ambassador for female emancipation through English education. What if this was all a myth? Following Chandu Menon's own confessions about how the novel grew out of demands and suggestions of his friends, I create a mythical friend who asks Menon to kill off Indulekha. Can Indulekha survive the autopsy that inevitably follows murder?" Click to read the complete novel (second edition in pdf).
