Description:
- Ref is a hard-hitting novel that portrays the grim realities of life in the Kalabagan slum.
- It follows the lives of five individuals, where only Sani has any education.
- The rest have no significance in society—they are born, they fade away.
- Their lives are driven by primitive urges of lust, greed, and violence.
- Their dreams revolve around quick wealth, their love is reduced to physical desire.
- Their livelihood involves scamming people, burning corpses, and indulging in various addictions.
- Yet, humanity lurks within them:
- One of them vomits instead of committing rape.
- Another loses the key to relationships and goes mad.
- Ref ruthlessly exposes the self-absorbed escapism of the educated and wealthy, delivering a harsh blow to their indifference.
