Arthanaari - Perumal Murugan - Bog

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. 'Arthanari' speaks to the relationship problems caused by the male's sense of possession over the female. The novel goes on to describe the way in which the resulting values pervade human minds.
