The Red Noose (Novel)

‘The Red Noose’, of the auto-fiction genre, portrays the corrupt and polluted bureaucratic system that mocks at our democracy. Most of the real-life characters who inspired the fictitious ones in this novel were, in truth, more irrational, more irksome and more self-centered than depicted herein. The whole system was thriving and gloating in the pain of the majority of its members. Truth was really stranger than even auto-fiction. The sensitive few, who fall victims to forces beyond their control, had no choice but to end up fatalists. The novelist, an unfit in the establishment, becomes overnight, a prey of the system. Surviving the keelhauling by the brutal government machinery, he strikes back by shouting out the truth. He exposes the ugly world of power mongers and the helplessness of innocent scapegoats. This novel is a revelation and a slap-in-the-face for the complacent citizen.
