A quirky and darkly comic take on local life in southern India. Ousep Chacko, journalist and failed novelist, prides himself on being "the previous of the real men." This includes waking neighbors after returning late from the pub. His wife Mariamma stretches their money, increases their two kids, and, in her free time, gleefully fantasizes about Ousep dying. One day, their apparently happy seventeen-year-old child Unni - an obsessed comic-book designer - falls from the balcony, leaving them to question whether it was an accident. Three years later, Ousep obtains a offer that transmits him looking for the response, hounding his son's ex - friends, participating a cartoonists' conference, and even accosting a famous neurosurgeon. In the meantime, younger child Thoma, lacking his brother, falls head over pumps for the much more aged lady who befriended them both. Haughty and beautiful, she has her own secrets. The Illicit Enjoyment of Other People is a smart, wry, and poignant novel - teases you using its mystery, philosophy, and improbable love story.
