Vidya Subramaniam Tamil Novels Collections

The covers of the first two volumes of 'Blaft Anthology of Tamil Pulp Fiction' The books are just the right size, not too big, not too small. Just right for a traveller’s pocket. On the cover are beautiful illustrations of women who are characters in all kinds of stories – romance, thrillers, science fiction and crime. In sharp contrast, the inner pages are of cheaper, low quality paper or “pulp”. Welcome to the world of pulp fiction. While the world is awed by Indian writers in English such as Amitav Ghosh, Salman Rushdie and Jhumpa Lahiri, there is a world of vibrant literature nestled away from plain sight: racy short-fiction in the regional languages.

About VIDYA SUBRAMANIYAN: Vidya Subramaniam is a Tamil author. She has been writing novels and short stories for close to three decades. Ambujammal was born on 8 January 1899 to S. Srinivasa Iyengar and his wife Ranganayaki. Srinivasa Iyengar was one of the foremost leaders of the Indian National Congress in the Madras Presidency and had served as the President of the Swaraj Party.

One of the centres of the parallel cultural universe of popular writing in Tamil is Coimbatore-based writer, Rajesh Kumar. One of India’s most prolific writers, he has to his credit at -at least 1,500 novels.

A Botany graduate from the Government Arts College, Coimbatore, Kumar’s first story was published in the college magazine. He also dabbled in teaching for five years after obtaining a B.Ed degree from Ramakrishna Vidyalaya, before quitting (reportedly) of boredom. Judging by his safari suit and retro-style spectacles, Kumar is like a visit from the past - the 1980s to be more specific. He first began writing in 1968.

Today, he’s 69 years old and still churns out three novels a month. What set him apart from other writers were his childhood travels with his father, a handloom merchant, which took him across India and found its way into his books. “Most writers then wrote stories based in Chennai or Tamil Nadu. My stories were based on the locations that I travelled like Bombay, Nasik, Pune,” Kumar says. Real-life events too form the material for his work.

“I look at newspapers, read crime stories. Many of my female fans call me up and tell me about issues they face with their bosses and husbands on sex and torture,” he adds. Although he writes on steamy love stories, science-fiction, detective stories and crime thrillers, it was the last genre that captivated him the most. Similar to a Holmes-Watson pair, Rajesh Kumar often features his favourite couple, Vivek and Roobala who solve crime together. Vivek is a special crime branch officer who ends up marrying Roobala, his love interest. He has approached the Guinness World Record association to replace L Ron Hubbard who has authored 1084 novels as the holder of the record for most published works by one author. Apart from his pocket-sized novels, his stories have been published in serial form by Tamil magazines like Kumudam, Vikatan and other publications. Game basara 2 heroes pc full rip fault download.
