“It is a real gift to publish Ramesh Avadhani, whose work is so refreshingly original, bold and funny,” said Phil M. Shirley, Publisher-in-Chief at Foreshore Publishing. “We we thrilled to get the chance to read The Coming of Age of Ranjith SS, and delighted to sign the work. It’s a real coup for us.”
The Coming of Age of Ranjith SS presents fifteen interconnected stories featuring Ranjith S.S., a 21-year-old schizoid Tamil Brahmin whose life is a veritable rollercoaster of Shakespearean proportions – romantic misadventures, family drama, tragedy, mystery, exploitation. The narrative also explores the intricacies of East Indian Catholic and Tamil Brahmin cultures while depicting Ranjith’s unexpected and profound journey of self-discovery.
