Perumal Murugan has created the novels 'Arthanari' and 'Alavayan' from two different angles following 'Mathorubagan'. These are not successive parts of a novel, but rather are complete and separate from each other. Both start at the same point but travel in different directions. The novel 'Alavayan' aims to see the expansion of the world of women and the feelings that run within it. The novel depicts the relentless onslaught of questions about relationships, and the struggles of human beings to overcome them.

These are not successive parts of a novel, but rather are complete and separate from each other. Both start at the same point but travel in different directions. 'Arthanari' speaks to the relationship problems caused by the male's sense of possession over the female. The novel goes on to describe the way in which the resulting values pervade human minds.
Janakiraman's cantrovertial novel. Widely Considered a modern Classic. Beautiful edition.
This collection consists of three novellas as well as three short stories with the attributes of a novella. Through P. Karunakaramurthy's delicate and empathetic writing, the central characters become unique and compelling. They are different in appearance and characteristics; isolated and in conflict with the socio-political order. However, it is precisely these unique traits and distinctions that bring characters such as Kasi, Jennifer, and blue-eyed Balasingam to life. The characters are conceived as shocks to the tendencies, values and norms of the masses. P. Karunakaramurthy explores different territories and creates immortal possibilities in fiction. The result is a delightful book from a skilled master.
This is the first published novel of Vaikkom Muhammad Basheer. It was published in 1943. Though the writer describes it as 'a funny story', but it is not merely that. It speaks of the social norms of its time in a satirical tone, and details the complexity of love. The great writer that Basheer would go on to become, is seen in this novel too. Effortless storytelling, a unique language, nuances in character description and many such 'Basheer-esque' traits are found throughout this work. Even after three-fourth of a century, the novel is still readable and enthralling. 'Love Letter' is proof that Basheer's works are timeless.
