THERE are not many writers who would take up a theme and do thorough research on that and then turn it into fiction. Turning fieldwork into fiction has been attempted by very few writers. This is because this involves travel, preparing field notes and then weaving a story around it. But there is one writer who has done this for many, many years and she is Rajam Krishnan.
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
