Description
Kalki is a darkly satirical novel that explores themes of apocalypse and messianic cults through the story of a charismatic ex-soldier who proclaims himself to be Kalki, the final avatar of Vishnu destined to end the world. Set in a near-future world gripped by disillusionment, Gore Vidal uses wit and biting critique to examine humanity’s obsession with destruction, salvation, and belief systems. The novel blends humor with philosophical inquiry, making it a provocative commentary on the nature of faith, power, and societal decay.
