Sujatha - Corner stone in Tamil Literature
by LOL on Feb 29, 2008 06:57 AM

It is a great loss for Tamil literature. Ask someone involved with tamil literature in the seventies and early eighties - they will immediately realize the influence Sujatha had at that time. The kind of subjects he dealt with, his ploys, narrative styles are a class apart and far beyond his times. He literally set a trend for science based novels and his uncanny usage of tamil and english dialogues in his stories are some of the memorable encounters for the tamil readers in those period. A very imaginative, forward looking and concentious writer that he was - he will always be remembered for his Ganesh-Vasanth series - has been a role model for quite many yougsters (including me)- the sharp wits that he brings about in most serious circumstances are awesome.

An achiever in his own lifetime and merit, he will ever be remembered by those for the renaissance he brought about in the tamil literature, for his out of the world thinking and exemplary delivery of creative talent in writing. Hail Sujatha, You Were Awesome!!! We all miss you........
