Zero Degree is a postmodern lipogrammatic novel written in 1998 by Tamil author Charu Nivedita later translated into Malayalam and English.The novel uses a non-linear narrative structure and often sexual and/or violent content jumping between phone sex conversations torture scenes (which seem to allude to the custodial treatment of Sri Lankan refugees) love poems chapters set in Rwanda during the civil war and accounts of an immortal with a penis several meters long who performs complex rites of black magic in order to find an Aryan yoni.Keeping with the numerological theme of Zero Degree the only numbers expressed in either words or symbols are numerologically equivalent to nine (with the exception of two chapters).
