Ann
Marie
reads
fragments
of
her
dead
husband's
unfinished
book,
and
the
many
love
letters
he
sent
her,
and
in
them
the
social
and
political
events
of
the
time.
As
she
ponders
the
writing
and
the
years
that
the
brilliant
Jithendran
squandered
working
for
a
toy
company
that
makes
drum-playing
monkeys,
the
narrative
gives
way
to
the
sweeping
saga
of
a
village
by
the
river
Periyar.
Grappling
with
issues
of
equality,
love,
caste,
religion
and
politics,
Thachanakkara
is
a
microcosm
of
twentieth-century
Kerala.
Told
through
the
history
of
three
generations
of
a
feudal
Nair
family,
this
sprawling
story
is
reminiscent
of
the
craft
of
Gabriel
Garcia
Marquez's
A
Hundred
Years
of
Solitude
and
has
the
scale
of
Sunil
Gangopadhyay's
Those
Days.
A
Preface
to
Man
is
an
artistic
meditation
on
human
existence
and
is
a
contemporary classic.
