Description
Translated from the Tamil original, it is a refreshingly progressive kind of writing which displays a clinical objectivity and a humor bordering on satire.
Man's desires, passions and vanities weave a dream of everyday life in a typical village in Tamil Nadu, where although there are petty clashes between men and women brought out with a light, penetrating humor, the basic cohesion of community life is clearly reflected.
