Imayam – Arumugam

Description

A timeless tale of a child denied his childhood; Arumugam explores the relationship between a mother and son, the difficult emotions that weave their stories into a single fabric of love. Thrown from a secure, loving home into the cruel world of the Chekkumedu prostitutes, Arumugam learns that his perceptions of life are as unreal as wisps of smoke and understands in the end, that the only truth is the voice of a loving heart.

Expertly translated by D Krishna Ayyar, Katha presents one of the finest contemporary writers in Tamil.
