Description

The Novel Unfathomable, leads the reader down the dark alleys of the minds of those who are labeled and segregated as schizophrenic.

The author has dexterously portrayed their strange world where they seem to be in ecstasy, in frenzy, in agony and in various indexplicable moods. And It is the so-called sane world that often drives them to such an unfathomable darkness where they hide their selves from the clever world.

The author’s sensibility attempts to peep into their inner lives and her keen observation arouses in us a sense of pity. Unfathomable in indeed a fascinating mosaic of fragments of several stories skillfully woven.

The novel Athah, of which Unfathomable is the translation, is the winner of Sahitya Akademi award-2003, and has already been translated into four other languages – Assamese, Oriya, Hindi and Maithili.
