Sundara Ramaswamy (30 May 1931 – 15 October 2005)[1] was an Indian novelist, poet, translator, and literary critic, widely considered to be a preeminent figure in post-Independence Tamil literature.[2] He was born in 1931 in Thazhuviya Mahadevan Kovil, a village in Nagercoil, then part of the princely state of Travancore. He grew up in Kottayam and, later, central Travancore until the age of eight, when his family moved to Nagercoil.[3] He continued his schooling there, but was generally considered to be a poor student. His notable works include "Oru Puliyamarathin Kathai", "J.J. Sila Kuripugal", "Kuzhanthaigal," "Pengal," and "Aangal." He was a key figure in Tamil modern literature. The translations of his novels and short stories have brought him international acclaim. Sundara Ramaswamy has been praised for his versatility and his skillful negotiation of various literary forms: poetry, short fiction, and the novel.[4]
Ramaswamy began his literary career translating Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai's Malayalam novel, Thottiyude Makan, into Tamil. His early short stories were published in progressive literary journals like Shanthi and Saraswati. He wrote over 80 short stories, three novels, a little over 100 poems, and many essays and reviews.[5] In 1987, he launched a literary review, Kalachuvadu, which folded after eight quarterly issues and a final special edition. It was revived in a different form by his son Kannan Sundaram in 1994.
