People wake up in a post-apocalyptic world only to discover everything is made of cake, medieval English castles hide unlikely stories of murder and magic, and heaven-made marriages are unmade on earth.\u003cbr\u003e\nStory after story in Karnoor’s surreal, spellbinding collection unearths the ironies of modern life and rewrites its philosophy with humour, in language that serves as both the medium and the message.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMaithreyi Karnoor is the author of the English novel Sylvia, the Kannada novel Hettavara Neralu and the poetry collection Skinny Dipping in Tiger Country.
