Bücher von Bama

When it first came out in 1992 Bama's first novel 'Karukku' shook many who were writing fiction. Karukku with its inherent attributes of a Classic deserves to be republished every decade as a classic edition. For we forget history easily. It has been easy for us to forget the lives of dalits and struggles of women. To disturb the sleep of those who act like heart disturbing things do not exist, to knock them with troubles and to tear open their thick skins, 'Karukku' is needed, as a metaphor and as a book.
