Samskara: A Rite for a Dead Man
by U. R. Ananthamurthy
Samskara is a work that rejects Indian traditions and bound by French existentialism. Disappointing read to be honest. Felt dry textbook translation. Maybe i was expecting more from this book but story can't be justify within 136 pages. Even i felt that author didn't read Dharmasastra. The main protagonist Praneshacharya who studied 12 years in Kashi was looking so helpless in this story. Even if the author had done his research by reading Dharmasastra before writing this book he wouldn't make this character more incapacitated. Anyway i don't want to say much, otherwise everyone will start commenting here for having different a view.
Anyway U.R. Ananthamurthy was my 10th Kannada writer. Being a non Kannada reader, I am really enjoying Kannada literature. I will keep exploring Kannada books.
