Soft cover. Condizione: New. Wooden Cow, a translation of T. Janakiraman´s path-breaking novel Marappasu, is the coming-of-age story of a young, beautiful, intelligent, fiercely independent, yet deeply emotional woman who does not believe in the institution of marriage, or in human bondage of any kind, and her unconventional and volatile relationship with a renowned and gifted musician. Bound by their love of music, and their rejection of social morality, they have equally strong differences. Ammani´s laughter is her ammunition against the many ironies of life and love, and a mask for her complex, tumultuous inner world one which Janakiraman unravels with rare insight and empathy, but without judgement. In Ammani, we meet a modern, layered character who is unsettlingly real and credible and who, despite her contradictions, remains true to herself and endures. Janakiraman belongs to the Manikkodi group of writers whose work established the foundations of modernism in Tamil literature. His language distinctive of his birthplace Thanjavur is colourful, playful and sensual, marked by simplicity and honesty. His sensitivity and courage in depicting the transience of human relationships, his astute observations of people and their motivations, his deeply musical ear and ability to weave Carnatic music into the interstices of everyday life, and his ever-present wry humour make this unusual novel both contemporary and timeless. Lakshmi Kannan, an acclaimed writer and poet herself, absorbs the silences of the unsaid and recreates them seamlessly in translation. She evocatively brings to life small-town Tamil Nadu, especially Annavasal where Ammani grows up, and its whimsical, lovingly-etched inhabitants. This is a must-read for all lovers of literature.…

Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. The tales in Guilt Trip and Other Stories reveal an unbridled exuberance of appetite which mirrors women's hungering for lost opportunities, the sting of indifference to one's aspirations and denied selfhood. All that is atoned for by reaffirming friendships and chance encounters, which have a tendency to change trajectories. The lilting whiff of an aftershave mingling with the splutter of cumin, innocent counting songs giving way to jingling banglesare a few glimpses from this collection, which champions the cause of enduring courage by bringing together the textures, the hues and the aromas of our daily lives. Whether it is a researcher standing up to her male colleagues to not cook for them or a newly-wed bride escaping her swindling in-laws, the characters try and close the gap between limiting social norms and the desire for freedom to create a space of their own in Kannan's adroit hands. 'The stories, told in a lucid way somehow carry an undertone of pathosthe most significant ingredient of good stories.' -PARAMITA SATPATHY, Akademi Award-winning Odia Poet and Fictionist 'each story artfully unfolds deeper layers for the reader to discover and introspect.' -KAVERY NAMBISAN, Novelist and Practising Surgeon 'An ethereal quality pervades all the stories by Lakshmi.' -INDIRA PARTHASARATHY, Akademi Award-winning Tamil playwright and novelist.…

The stories situated in various locales the home a hospital a government office the university the London Tube parks and gardens temples and restaurants introduce us to several memorable characters Sensitive women who negotiate their space through an essentially patriarchal culture with confidence in the strength of their womanhood An elderly man who understands the language of the birds so completely that the birds take over as the chief protagonists of the story and later evolve as the most concerned mourners at his funeral A narrator who sees in a total stranger an uncanny resemblance to his dead father with whom he had a difficult relationship An art historian trapped in a bleak and cheerless life languishing in a bureaucratic system of the government department in which he works The thoughts and feelings of a man in a coma who wanders through the corridors of a subterranean region of the dead The coming back of a woman from the clutches of death as an answer to fervent prayers Kannan?s characters reflect their strength of spirit as they struggle with the inevitable pain of existence everyday grievances and prejudices the indomitable will to survive loneliness and sorrow and the confidence to resolve inner and external conflict Her protagonists reveal themselves through soliloquies dialogue and evocative silences Kannan is her own translator Perhaps that is why the rhythms and idioms of the Tamil world is translated into such fluid prose in English where she masterfully retains the intensity and ethos of the original The spectrum of experiences and sensibilities depicted in these lucid probing and absorbing narratives is a must read 280 pp.…
