The One Hundred Year-Old Man Who Jumped out of a Window and Disappeared

by Jonas Jonasson

"7/7 The One Hundred Year-Old Man Who Jumped out of a Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonsson: The funniest, most joyous book I have read in years. Twentieth-century history retold through an ingenious plot in a comic caper that never ceases to surprise and delight. @OmarAbdullah"

And Then…?

by Abraham Mathew

"Also at @klibf_kla, launched the English translation (by my colleague Shibu Appukuttan) of Abraham Mathew’s novel “And Then…?” whose protagonist literally finds himself in Limbo surrounded by ghosts from the past. A thought-provoking work of philosophical musings. Enjoyed interacting with young readers afterwards."
