‘In the fairy-tale foothills of the Western Ghats, a gambler wrestles with life, luck, destiny and addiction. His confession, dispassionate and hilarious, is an arresting chronicle of enslavement. Etched in enchanting and haunting visuals, Joshy Benedict’s exuberant story walks us into the heart of a gambler – and an array of delightful characters.’ – Paul Zacharia

‘The Pig Flip is a significant milestone in Indian graphic novels and a pure delight. Joshy Benedict creates a Kerala that is in equal parts real as well as enchanted. He has built a local universe with all its particularities, created authentic characters, and understood the psychological tugs and pulls of addiction. The storytelling is sophisticated, the language pithy, the drawing skilled – there is an ease, crafted yet not performative, such as only a mature practitioner of the form can achieve.’ – Sarnath Banerjee
