Manu Joseph is a journalist and the author of two novels. Le Bonheur illicite des autres follows a family that has lost a child: Unni, a brilliant teen and promising illustrator, jumps from the balcony of the family’s apartment. With biting language, Joseph paints a caustic portrait of his characters, pulling the reader along, a witness to the father’s obsessive quest to understand his son’s act, and revealing the codes of a polarized, suspicious society.
