Mayaloka: Novel

By Poornachandra Tejaswi

Curious, he was curious about everything - plants, trees, forests, birds, human beings - his curiosity was of a different level. Till he started writing, we wrote about characters who were just like us, their pleasures, their sorrows. In his initial years of writing, he too wrote in the same way. Later he felt he did not want such a writing. He started writing differently. Because of this, he started seeing people of a different kind, people whom we did not take cognizance of. They were neither from the cities nor were they completely rural. They belonged to a new space, the rural-urban world. We had not noticed this, at all. This is not seen either in Karanth or in Kuvempu. This moffusil-town' came to the Kannada literary landscape for the first time through Tejaswi. A town such as Mudigere, its politics, corruption, the comedy therein . . . his human world is as strange as his animal world.'
