Fat Uncle // An illustrated novella.

Fat Uncle hasn’t left his apartment all summer. He refuses to participate in neighbourly affairs, hasn’t gone to the office in ages and his wife appears to have left him. As he becomes the subject of neighbourhood gossip, with hushed rumours of curses and visits from mysterious Godmen, he only seems to withdraw further within himself.

Written and illustrated by Taarika John, the story is based in Bombay, India, and deals with themes of human relationships and the isolation of urban life.
