About the Book: Fever
Ruhiton Kurmi has been in jail for seven years. Once a notorious Naxalite, he is
now a withered shell; a man broken by torture, racked with fevers and sores. The
only way he can endure his life is by shutting out the past. But when Ruhiton is
moved to a better jail and eventually freed, memories return to haunt him. Dark,
powerful and full of ambiguities, Fever questions the human cost of revolution
and its inevitable transience.
