About The Event
‘Under the Mangosteen Tree’ is an adventurous mix of ten stories by the great Malayalam writer Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, all very different, but with a common vein of love, humour and pathos running through them. A connecting link in this heady concoction is the character of Basheer himself, who plays narrator, participant and witness in turn.
