Description
Perumal Murugan—one of Tamil literature's most significant contemporary voices—delivers in this new work the lyrical intensity, the deep rootedness in Tamil landscape and culture, and the moral intelligence that have made him one of the essential voices of contemporary Indian regional fiction. Written with his characteristic combination of beauty and darkness, this is essential reading for every admirer of Murugan's extraordinary literary achievement and every reader committed to encountering Indian regional fiction in its full richness. Essential reading.
