About the Book
A COMPELLINGLY IMAGINED, TIGHT-PACED STORY OF SPIRALLING RUMOURS AND MASS HYSTERIA.
In the foothills of the Western Ghats, the village of Vaiga is enduring the worst storm it has seen in decades: ceaseless rain, fallen trees, flooded river, severe power cuts ... But another, more insidious storm is brewing beneath the surface. It begins as a rumour of an illicit affair-a rumour that brings Saud and his sons to Vaiga in search of Burhan. The rumour soon takes on a life of its own, fuelled by feverish WhatsApp messages. In the ensuing chaos, as Vaiga erupts into violence and a mob takes to the street, baying for blood.
Tautly written and vividly imagined, Chronicle of an Hour and a Half is an engrossing, unsettling read.
Saharu Nusaiba Kannanari lives in a small town called Areekode, near Calicut, Kerala. This is his first novel.
