The reading of Ka (Who?) is an experience, a dizzying foray into brilliant, enigmatic, erotic, offensive, beautiful stories. Nevertheless, it is not a novel.
The anticonformist work of Kalaso weaves ideas and not characters. The author's nominalistic character finds its residence in the stories of India, particularly in the primal tales of the Aryans that always affirm the intellectual power and authority.
Starting from the Rig Veda, the book journeys through the narrative ocean of the Brahmanas, the Upanishads, the Mahabharata, and the Puranas, and reaches the stories of the Buddha.
