Young radio jockey Sameera Parvin, an immigrant in the City from Pakistan, tells the story of the revolution in Benyamin’s new novel, first published in Malayalam in 2014 as Mullappoo Niramulla Pakalukal. Bahrain is also the country where Benyamin lived until he returned to his native state of Kerala in 2013, two years after the revolution.
But we know the place he refers to, the only country in the Gulf that saw protests during the Arab Spring. Unlike his first novel Goat Days, which takes place in Saudi Arabia, the author doesn’t name the country in his new book.
It also arrived in the City, as Malayalam writer Benyamin calls the newest scene of Arab Spring in his novel set once again in the Middle East. The Jasmine revolution, which started with the self-immolation of a street vendor in Tunisia, spread to Egypt, Libya and Morocco.
