Please read the stories listed below before attending. For every story we will start with summarizing the story so that we have it fresh in our minds. We will share our opinions about the story, which parts we liked and which we didn't like, and we will discuss any and all aspects of the story and the writing.

📖 About this session
We read short stories written by the Tamil writer Sundara Ramaswamy, translated into English.

"Sundara Ramaswamy (May 30, 1931 - October 14, 2005) was one of the most important writers of modern Tamil literature. He made significant contributions to Tamil fiction, poetry, and literary criticism. He wrote poetry under the name Pasuvaiyya and founded the literary magazine Kalachuvadu."

"Sundara Ramaswamy was one of the forerunners and foremost representatives of the 'little magazine’ movement that constituted the avant garde in Tamil literature for forty years starting from the 1950s. He was a proponent of pure literature as an alternative to the popular and political writing of that era."
