## Description

Joseph James-or JJ-is dead. A famously outspoken figure in Malayalam literature, his death is particularly mourned by Balu, a Tamil writer who endeavours to preserve the luminary’s legacy by penning a biography of JJ. For this, Balu must immerse himself in the politicized and divisive Malayalam literary world, where JJ has made quite a few enemies. Thus begins an enthralling novel of ideas, brimming with sharp wit and laced with satire, as Balu gathers his thoughts and experiences to pay homage to JJ-only to discover that he might have bitten off more than he can chew. An undisputed classic of modern Tamil fiction, JJ: Some Jottings remains bitingly relevant and scathingly funny in its vision of a society where artistic integrity is besieged by personal agendas.
