A review by karanrai
Estuary by Perumal Murugan
4.0
Book: - Estuary (translated from Kazhimugam)
Author: - Perumal Murugan (translated by Nandini Krishnan)
Review: - The subtleness of Perumal Murugan to bind social issues into a thread and then stretch it into a tale is unparalleled. Estuary, addressing a congregation of social issues around a government employee will take you through a journey of emotions. It will showcase the fragile nature of the parental relationship, the working structure of government offices, marriage rituals, complexities of society and personal bonding. Though it is really hard at some places to understand the context and you might get lost, but the author manages to bring you back on track in the next paragraph. It will take you on a discourse of internal conflicts, parental duties and how to face your demons.
I am not aware of the literary techniques of Tamil language but this translation is well versed with the style of “Poonachi-The story of Black Goat.” If you were impressed by that book, Estuary will seal a place for Perumal Murugan in your heart and hopefully in your bookshelf.
Ratings: - 4/5.
Read this to understand the emotion of a father and how he holds his fort for you at every point in his life.
