Penguin Random House India
Cover design for A Thousand Cuts By T.J. Joseph
Translated by andakumar K.
.
In 2010, T.J. Joseph, a professor of Malayalam at Newman College, Kerala, framed an innocuous question for an internal examination that changed his life forever. Following a trumped-up charge of blasphemy, members of a radical Islamist organization set upon him in public, viciously maiming him and chopping off his right hand. His memoir, told with amazing restraint and wry humour, is the moving tale of his life and family as they went through hell and beyond.

The process for this cover changed a lot in me. Thanks Elizabeth (@eliofkottayam) for trusting me with this. To be able to work on books like this is why I like doing what I do.
