THE BOOKSELLER OF MOGGA

Sometime in the 1970s, in a small town called Mogga in southern India, a boy grew up surrounded by over 30,000 books.

Apart from this highly unusual circumstance, the town was not very different from other mofussil towns, in its character. Or for that matter, the assortment of simple-minded characters it held: Tempo Tony, Chikkanna, Percentage Ravi, New News Nagaraj, ISV ... not to mention their own mystery-busting detective called Herculees Pirate.

Who was the man who had built this incredible collection of literature? Who was the boy fortunate enough to grow up in its midst? Why was he called Cylinder?

An extraordinary tale of some of the greatest writers in history, in the lives of ordinary people in an ordinary town.
