A little boy runs excitedly in the darkness, lit only by the light of a bright, bright moon. He is going with his mother and baby brother to the millet fields. As his mother works, he tries to make the most of the moonlit night with his newfound friend, a stray dog, while his brother sleeps...
It takes an exceptional writer like Perumal Murugan to narrate this vignette from his own life, evocatively and unsentimentally. Mood-filled illustrations bring the unfamiliar close in a nightscape redolent with anticipation and danger.
PERUMAL MURUGAN is the one of the best known authors in India today. He is the author of eleven novels, four collections of short stories and five anthologies of poetry in Tamil. Three of his novels translated into English—Poonachi: Or the Story of a Black Goat, Trial by Silence and A Lonely Harvest—were shortlisted for the JCB Prize for Literature —in 2018 and 2019. The other six novels translated into English include Seasons of the Palm, shortlisted for the Kiriyama Prize in 2005, Pyre, Current Show and One Part Woman. Murugan is now the principal at Government Arts College in Namakkal.
Ashok Rajagopalan writes and illustrates children’s books. His mission in life is to make people, especially little people, laugh. His funny and evocative illustrations fill the pages of many Tulika picture books, the all-time favourite being the Gajapati Kulapati series. This is his first work of fiction for Tulika. He lives with his family and books in Korattur, Chennai.
