Brilliant!!! Full 5 stars for the beautiful writing.. Somehow the book did not depress me as expected in fact it elevated me... Am a fan of Benyamin now...Way back in the 1990's, I remember reading a story by Ursula K. LeGuin: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. It disturbed me greatly at that time. It was about this perfect country, Omelas, where there was no sorrow or disease, and everybody was happy. There was only one catch: Omelas was paying for this happiness through the misery of one child, kept locked in a cellar and treated cruelly perpetually. This was the pact that Omelas had made with the powers that be: the misery of one human being
Imagine being thrust into a situation where youre expected to have unique skills and knowledge (which you dont possess) and then not having any way to communicate and learn other than through charades, being beaten when you guess incorrectly. Goat Days by Benyamin was an eye opening account of a man simply looking to provide for his wife and unborn child--to raise their standard of living. When a friend tells Najeeb there is a visa available for purchase (through the friends brother-in-law),

It was too much for me that I continued with the reading only the next day.The poor fate of Hakkim was another torment for me. After reading what had happened to Hamid and Hakkim I was nervous whether the same fate was about to follow Najeeb. And all I
This is one of the best work of fiction I have ever read in Malayalam. A land mark book. We can feel the pain and emotions that the author would have undergone while writing this book. The book is as raw as life could be and as beautiful as life should be. Being an author myself, I could associate with the afterword in which the author describes the process of writing. Writing itself is a tough task, writing so beautifully, so lyrically is nearly impossible. Benyamin has achieved the near

'Goat Days' is an unusual novel: probably quite unlike anything else you'll read this year. A relatively rare translation from Malayalam by Joseph Koyipally, it is, as its title suggests, a book in which goats feature prominently. So prominently, in fact, that by the end you'll know more than you ever thought you'd know, and ever wanted to know, about the frisky beasts. You'll know how to feed them, how to castrate them, how to dodge a buck if it turns nasty (see previous operation). You'll know
