He appears out of nowhere in a sleepy little neighborhood in
suburban Kerala. He calls himself Shunya, the zero. Who is he? A
lunatic? A dark magician? A fraud? Or an avadhuta, an enlightened
soul? Saami, as they call him, settles into a small cottage in the
backyard of the local toddy shop. Here he spins parables, blesses,
curses, drinks endless glasses of black tea, and lives in total
freedom. On rare occasions, he plays soul-stirring melodies on his
old, bamboo-reed flute. Then, just as mysteriously as he arrived,
Shunya vanishes, setting the path for a new avadhuta, a new era.
This first novel by Sri M is a meditation on the void which
collapses the wall between reality and make-believe, the limited
and the infinite. With its spare storytelling and profound wisdom,
it leads us into the realm of 'shunya,' the nothingness of profound
and lasting peace, the beginning and end of all things.
