WAVES Author Sundara Ramaswamy By Sundara Ramaswamy

Thanks to this book, I came to know that Sundara Ramaswamy or Su Ra - one of the giants of Tamil literature spent his childhood in Kerala and learnt the Tamil alphabet only during the fag end of his teens. With his initial exposure to the prevailing strands of Malayalam literature, he set about writing in his native tongue. Two of his novels translated to English and published by Penguin are familiar to me as I've seen them stocked in most Delhi bookstores - Tamarind History and Children, Women, Men.

Waves is a collection of his short stories. As with reading works from the regional languages, Waves too reminded me of the charm and otherwordliness of that space called 'South India'. Should be a good time to pick up the aforementioned works. Sundara Ramaswamy Such strange stories on strange topics in stranger contexts! I absolutely loved the writing though (kudos to the translators). Sundara Ramaswamy This year, among few great Indian writers (G.V. Desani, Raja Rao etc) I have discovered, this one I cherish the most. Ramaswamy, also known as Su Ra is a beautiful, beautiful writer. He writes the kind of stories that I aspire to write. I have read Tamarind Story and next, I'll read Children, Women, Men by him. Truly a great writer. More of his work should be translated immediately.

The brutal irony in 'Heifer', the love for nature in 'Crows', the childish indifference to death in 'A day with my father', the heartbreaking truth in 'Caprice', the painful cheating in 'Out Teacher' and the pain and love in 'True Love' will make me return to this collection again and again. Sundara Ramaswamy A nice collection of short stories. Sundara Ramaswamy
