 ONE PART WOMAN BY PERUMAL MURUGAN &
ANIRUDDHAN VASUDEVAN (TR.) PDF

All of Kali and Ponna s efforts to conceive a child from prayers to penance, potions to pilgrimages have been
in vain. Despite being in a loving and sexually satisfying relationship, they are relentlessly hounded by the
taunts and insinuations of the people around them.

Ultimately, all their hopes and apprehensions come to converge on the chariot festival in the temple of the
half-female god Ardhanareeswara and the revelry surrounding it. Everything hinges on the one night when
rules are relaxed and consensual union between any man and woman is sanctioned. This night could end the
couple s suffering and humiliation. But it will also put their marriage to the ultimate test.

Acutely observed, One Part Woman lays bare with unsparing clarity a relationship caught between the
dictates of social convention and the tug of personal anxieties, vividly conjuring an intimate and unsettling
portrait of marriage, love and sex.

Vivid, Hardy-esque account of Gounder life 100 years ago
By Devaki Khanna
This moving account of the dilemma faced by a childless Gounder couple a hundred years ago not only
depicts a warmly loving relationship between the two, but also describes how their marriage is put to a test
when the wife attends the fourteenth day of the Ardhanareeshwara festival in Tiruchingode, in hopes of
begetting a child. The author has brought to life the daily work of a farm household--he has used every detail
in Ponna and Kali's life together, from the blooming portia tree in his father-in-law's front yard, to the
cleanliness and order of Kali's barnyard, to Muthu's ability to find unusual hideaways, to give each character
an intense individuality. This is truly a work that can be compared to that of Hardy, in its vivid descriptions
of nature and local life. Sadly, the author, like Hardy, is being forced to give up writing, not only his novels
and short stories, but also his poetry--because this work has been grossly misrepresented to the public in his
state.

Imagine a smooth flowing river with deep, fast, sinuous undercurrents, touching everything in its path,
immutable, destructive
By Ujwala S
Very nuanced, with great detail about the lives of a couple happy in themselves but coping with external
pressure to have a baby. Set in rural Tamil Nadu, the roles and lives of the people from close family to
extended relatives, friends and the larger community are sketched with care. The translation is simple and yet
the landscape is heavy with dilemmas, reflection, and the inevitable nature of time moving on. The couple
are in love, they have a sexy, flirtatious and sensuous love life but the presence of the guilt-inducing mother
in law, the suggestions from outsiders for the husband to take a second wife, and finally to adopt a child keep
shattering their mundane everyday lives. Through it all, the couple attempts to appease the gods by
performing sacrifices, feeding holy men, eating special diets and performing pilgrimages. Prescriptions come
from neighbours, family, friends and well-wishers. The frustration and sorrow of not conceiving is presented
delicately, yet matter-of-factly, drawn with such frankness that the reader keeps hoping for something good
to happen. At no point does the author offer a solution or a judgement.

That is sad.
By Koko Garden
How did people deal with infertility before modern treatments were developed? One solution is to adopt - but
for some people it is a public admission of failure. Thus, in Swiss/German cities that celebrate pre-Lent
carnivals, on one day everyone got drunk and could go off somewhere with a stranger and take one's chance
at conceiving. In south India there is a temple of "Ardha Nareeswara" (Half Woman, half man), and on the
last day of the temple festival a similar atmosphere of wild abandon existed, and childless women could
sneak off with someone other than their husbands and try their luck. This is a last resort preceded by all sorts
of deep emotion. Perumal Murugan gives a moving account of one such couple.
40 years ago Kannada movie director Girish Karnad produced "Vamsavruksha" which dealt with a similar
story. Then people were sympathetic. But today India is a cauldron of petty quarrels and some people have
condemned Mr.Murugan (and the author of Vamsavruksha) as "promoting immorality", "showing women
negatively" etc. They forced him to apologize. That is sad.
