Today we welcome Gautam Bhatia at 12pm SLT. His debut novel “The Wall” depicts a nation state confined by a giant wall. A secular panel of Elders is struggling over governance issues with a fundamentalist religious organization which is convinced the “Builders” are punishing citizens for good reason by trapping them within the confines of the wall. A group of young academics and workers imagine a better future, a world beyond the wall. Can they mount a revolution? Are citizens of various socio-economic means ready to unite in solidarity? A fascinating universe, a dense narrative, unforgettable characters: thank the Builders this is just fiction and has nothing to do with dynamics of the REAL world …..
