Summary, etc |
A magistrate known for his integrity seeks his friend's help to deliver judgement on a tricky case. A middle-aged shopkeeper earns pungent rebukes from a variety of sources including his young wife. A couple of minor gods seek the help of the powerful Sun god. Chellappa's good intentions and Charubala's social work yield comically undesirable results.<br/><br/>In this collection of his most powerful and enjoyable stories, C.N. Annadurai braids irony, clever puns and rhetoric while dealing with an array of subjects: widow remarriage, communism, rationalism, the law and a critique of brahminical oppression. Characterized not only by their social consciousness, these stories also brilliantly showcase Anna's sharp mind and sparkling wit. |
