MATHILUKAL af Vaikom Muhammad Basheer

Humourous novel.
Memoir of the author, during the independence strikes, when he was arrested and remanded to jail.
Author depicts the life in jail along with the love affair he had with a woman in the woman's jail.
The whole story is filled with humour! Fast paced and finished at one go.

> GRAND-PÈRE AVAIT UN ÉLÉPHANT, de Vaikom Muhammad Basheer. — La jeune Kounnioupattouumma, en âge de convoler, est bercée depuis son enfance par la sempiternelle litanie de sa mère, ton grand père avait un éléphant !
Bien évidemment, un jeune galant va venir « chatouiller » ce motif d’orgueil qui empêche tout un temps cette famille opulente mais désormais ruinée de laisser le champ libre à l’amour que vont se vouer les jeunes gens. Il y a du Marivaux dans ces pages et c’est délicieux… Éditions Zulma. (Isabelle MORIN-LARBEY et Shamms TCHAO)

Me Grandad 'an an Elephant and Other Stories… af Varkom Muhammed Basheer

Successful at showing the bygone times and the thought process then. Contrasting open minded people with that of narrow minded ones within the same religion.

But the English translation was horrible. Was full of errors.
