This is a modern Tamil novel, portraying the problems of modern Tamil life. Starting with a murder, the narrative continues on four different threads, following the perspectives of: Chinese person, a Japanese person, an Indian Tamilian and a Singapore Tamil woman. Every chapter starts with a quote from French writer Derrida and the narrative of the chapters investigates them. In a storytelling style that is new to Tamil literature, the author gives a new life to the Indian mythological story of Agaligai. Singapore and identity dysphoria are at the heart of this refreshing novel. Sidhuraj Ponraj's writing style reminds one of a magician's performance.
