Some
book finds a permanent place in your bookshelf and undoubtedly” STORYWALLAH by
Kumar Ganesan “is one such book. Ganesan is a writer who has made sure that the
language of the book is simple and yet he leaves and everlasting impression. Chapter
wise representation makes it super easy to read. The larger than life character
and their association with Ganesan’s life is poignantly described. Ganesan has
been eloquent in describing the stories and all his stories had humor vitality
and realistic. Every story for me either represented a social value, a social
stigma or a human behavior and it was cynically and humorously written. The odyssey
on which Ganesan took the readers was enthralling and exuberating. Every story
had wit and quirkiness and was serious when required. Kumar Ganesan’s work in
STORYWALLLAH has inspired me to make a journal of peoples who I meet in my course
of life.
MAlligai
po mami, Saapad Raman, life of pai- are stories of people from Ganesan’s life and
deals about loss self-discovery and making gratitude with ourselves. The
stories are beautifully narrated and the reader feels connected and glorifies
the life of these characters.
I me
and Pemba, old monk, real men cry and being Subraman- are narratives of experts
from Ganesan’s life experiences. The stories share his aspect of fear frolic
love and health issues in his life. Though some stories deal with pain but they
never lack humor and poignantly told the story. Loved it to core specially
Being subraman on writer embracing his health problem and narrating it in a spectacular
fashion one must have balls to do that.
Abbasaheb
Abhyankar narrates the embalmed views of society towards elderly tragic but
true, the story moved me a lot and after all lies are not always a sin.
Make
up and made up deals with the subject of illicit relationship domestic abuse
and proves the fallacy of women empowerment.
Sambhar
vadacury and pushpak express travelogue while one deals with a family outing on
the contrary deals with a lone girl’s train journey. Ganesan is a master
recounter his narration of characters is unbelievably realistic and pushpak
express’s end left me amused.
STORYWALLAH
is an honest contemplation and assessment of ideas well contrived, the book is
a trove and Ganesan has diligently crafted an amazing book.
