About the Book

Since Krishnan was an electrical engineer and his job involved transfers to different places, Rajam's stories, and novels depict vividly the lives in Ooty, Goa, and Chennai. 'Kurinji Then', is a beautiful novel on Badagas of Nilgiris spanning three generations. One cannot but feel moved while reading the last chapter. Rajam Krishnan's life once again is a testimony to how literature can be created, irrespective of educational or professional qualifications. Born in a conservative Brahmin family near Tiruchi, she got married at a very young age to Krishnan and started writing at the age of 16. Her first story 'Oosiyum Unarvum' (Needle and Sense) won an international award for the Tamil short story in 1952. It was given by the New York Herald Tribune. In 1953, her novel 'Pen Kural' (Voice of the Woman) was the recipient of the Kalaimagal Narayanaswami Iyer novel. In 1958, she won the Ananda Vikatan novel prize for her 'Malargal.' The Sahitya Academy award was given to her novel 'Verukku Neer.'
About the Author: Rajam Krishnan, born in 1925 in Musiri, Trichy District in Tamil Nadu is an important Tamil writer. Her works depict the lives of women in Tamil Nadu, particularly the Brahmin women, in a realist style and lucid language. The intertwining of tradition and modernity is one of the hallmarks of her writing. She is unable to come to terms with what she perceives to be the unchanging plight of women in society, irrespective of whether they are traditional or modern. She once remarked in an interview "It is a shame that the sufferings women underwent in my days dog them even now." Krishnan's works express her anguish at the way inequities are perpetuated in one form after another. Her novels and short stories have been translated into various Indian languages and English. She is a recipient of NewYork Herald Tribune International Award in 1950 for a short story; Sahitya Akademi Award in 1973; Soviet Land Nehru Award in 1975. She has been honored with several other awards such as Kalaimagal Award in 1953 and Thiru. Vi. Ka. Award in 1991.- Library of Congress
