The novel form was introduced as a new form to Tamil literature, and it grew along with the literacy rate. It cemented its place, despite the arguments on its literary status. Even half a century after the first novel, Tamil academicians struggled to handle it. Scholar Ka. Kailasapathy started tackling the issue during the 1950s by writing about Tamil novels in a mix of history and literary evaluation. This book is a collection of his essays on the novel. It is an enriching experience to read Kailasapathy talking about many important novels of his time in his unique perspective.
