ஆலவாயன் (Aalavayan)

Perumal Murugan has created the novels Arthanari and Alavayan from two different angles following Mathorubagan. These are not successive parts of a novel but rather are complete and separate from each other. Both start at the same point but travel in different directions. The novel Alavayan aims to see the expansion of the world of women and the feelings that run within it. The novel depicts the relentless onslaught of questions about relationships and the struggles of human beings to overcome them.
