Francis Itty Cora, A 15-th century pepper merchant from Kerala, is a larger-than-life figure-founder of a mysterious secret cult, a key figure in Italian Renaissance, responsible for setting up secret Hypatian Schools of Mathematics, a man of legendary sexual powers, and much more.
The author deftly weaves real-life historical and contemporary events and characters into an intriguing plot that moves back and forth between the distant and not-so-distant past and present, traversing continents in the process.
At one level a racy thriller with the stock-in-trade surprise denouement, 'Francis Itty Cora' is a more layered book that at a deeper level provides an established history that offers provocative alternative readings and challenges taboos of every kind social, emotional, and ethical.
