WHERE MAYFLIES LIVE FOREVER : A NOVEL
ANUPAMA MOHAN
The beheading of a prominent man in a small, growing town in Tamil Nadu grabs headlines. While there are no witnesses to the gruesome murder, everyone knows it is Veni, who seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth along with the decapitated head. This shocking tale of violence and its aftermath is as much about a young woman's journey to selfhood as it is a mystery within a mystery. The more facts we know about Veni, the less we understand her. Who is she? Where is she? A fearless fable, Where Mayflies Live Forever is as much eco-fiction as it is a war-cry of the battered but unvanquished.
