Birds That Fly Ahead
Birds That Fly Ahead is the English translation of the Malayalam novel "Munpe Parakkuna Pakshikal." It presents many an untold part of the left-extremist upsurge that took place in India four decades back and the way it has influenced the fabric of life ever since. It has been a bestseller running into more than a dozen editions and winning as many major awards. Though written in Malayalam, the places and people on stage are from other parts of India; the only exception being the narrator-actor himself. It is a modern Indian classic, the work of a master craftsman, different in style, rich in content, revealing and invigorating.
