Fiction
Verdict: Read it
As per the usual, this is the first exposure I've had to Unni R. He's a Malayali writer.
Unni is hailed as a visionary writer. Specifically that he addresses machismo in society and skewers it through his writing. Although to be honest, had the translator's note not mentioned that, I never would have caught it.
Unni's stories are interesting to read, but take a while to adjust to in terms of style. They wander slowly through different aspects of society. His stories are so wild and fantastical that one struggles to keep up sometimes.
Read them because Unni's perspective is different. It will give you insight into some of more obscure aspects of Kerala.
