Book Summary
About the Book: August 17
A genre-defying, history-smashing novel ?SHAHNAZ HABIB
Brilliant, and superbly translated ?TANUJ SOLANKI
On 17 August 1947, the kingdom of Thiruvithamkoor declares itself a free nation,
refusing to join India. In the years that follow, it becomes a republic of
coups, betrayals and revolutions?chronicled by a shadowy informant known as the
CID.
Through his eyes, S. Hareesh reimagines Keralas history as an alternate world
where the lines between fact and fiction, faith and power, sanity and madness
blur beyond recognition. At once speculative history and sly metafiction, August
17 explores how nations are built?and undone?by the stories they choose to
believe.
Brilliant, subversive and darkly funny,
