Description

A Map of Where I Live is a humorous and provocative novel of political intrigue and social turmoil in a time when the only sanity is madness. Valur Vishveswaran, an eccentric recluse, has visited Gulliver's Island. His fascinating journey is presented in a memoir that alternates with journal entries made by C. Ramakrishnan, a Tamil involved in the election campaign of a union official. Their stories intersect and culminate in a surprising case of murder and redemption. In this dreamlike, adventurous novel, S. Shankar weaves together a multitude of lives and episodes that unwind from the innumerable possibilities of "real" life and the imagination.
