The Haunting of Kunjamma P
Shinie Antony
Antony’s satirical novel begins with a self-proclaimed minor devil with a story to tell. It recalls how it briefly possessed the body of a woman and convinced her she needs to compose the Fifth Gospel and demand an audience with the Pope at the Vatican, causing chaos in the parish church while the priests around her wonder if she has lost her mind.
