Böcker av Soodamani

Soodamani in a short story written in 1975 had compared sexual intercourse to a destructive act akin tocrushing a fresh flower. This is a quite different view from her description of sexual intercourse in hernovel Naangaam Aasiramam written in 1972. She had described it as an act 'enhancing the divinity ofthe human body'. Soodamani's views on sexual intercourse changed vastly in her novel Iravuchudar andsuccessive stories. Iravuchudar is all about the pent-up thoughts about purity, buried deep in the heart,reaching a high-point and exploding one day. In her unique style of narration, Soodamani has createdthe character of Yamini as a flame scorching the ills of darkness. Yamini is also the dark-night that manywant to forget quickly. She's also the flame lighting up the night; in fact, Yamini is a creation who is amixture of darkness and light.
