About

RV Menon


RV Menon is a writer who grew up between Kerala and Maharashtra, two lands whose histories intertwine in Horse of the Servant. Its stories draw from memories shared by his father, grandparents, uncles, aunts, mother-in-law, and wife, woven together with historical research into a narrative that honours both family lore and the documented past.
