Understanding human mind

Read Thi Jaa's 'Sembaruthi' and Jayakanthan's 'Adum Naarkali.'

Once again these stories validated the depth of understanding these two writers have about human beings. Psychologists and psychiatrists can take a couple of lessons from these two !!!!!

They are not preachy and JK lives upto his own maxim that writers are not to judge people and present individual characters the way they are. The themes they have chosen and the way they are able to vividly describe places is amazing.

Witchy angel - you may want to read these two if you can lay your hands on them

though i have not read a lot of jayakanthan, i have offlate developed a lot of respect towards him due to the bold and straight forward comments he made recently.

JK has never been anything but straight forward. That's what makes him one great writer. No one character is like the other one despite him having written so many novels and short stories. Same goes for TJ too.

Paavai, I seem to have missed this post somehow. Like TJ I haven't read much of Jayakanthan's books, but will certainly get it next time. Thanks
