Check in every Tuesday for a new set of five! This week's collection includes Gowramma Kathegalu by Kodagina Gowramma and Samskara by U. R. Ananthamurthy among others.
Gowramma Kathegalu by Kodagina Gowramma
A collection of Gowramma's finest short stories are a reflection of her progressive and feminist ideals.
Mankuthimmana Kagga by D. V. Gundappa
Translatable to Dull Thimma's Rigmarole, this is a collection of 945 philosophical poems, each four lines in length, that explore life's intricacies.
Chirasmarane by Niranjana
Written by Kulakunda Shiva Rao, under the influence of Marxism, the novel follows the peasant uprising in 1940s Kayyur.
Samskara by U. R. Ananthamurthy
Translated as Samskara: A Rite for a Dead Man by A. K. Ramanujan
Samskara refers to a rite and in the case of this novel, it is the refusal of the Brahmin community to perform the final rites of a rebellious Brahmin that becomes a sharp critique of their values.
Karma by Karanam Pavan Prasad
Translated as Karma: A Novel by Naveen Gangotri
Prasad pits the urban lifestyle against the lingering orthodoxies of the past by narrowing in on the final rites of the protagonist's deceased father.
