A World Filled with Torments and Pains: The Fictional Universe Portrayed in N. Sriram’s Stories

வதைகளும் வலிகளும் நிரம்பிய வெளி: என்.ஸ்ரீராம் கதைகள் சித்திரிக்கும் புனைவுலகு

Abstract

Fictional stories have long floated across the Tamil landscape. The play of words continues beyond the questions of what is fiction and what is reality. Behind every word lies a hidden story. Everyday politics and stories are so deeply intertwined that they cannot be separated. After unjustly killing the people of Thoothukudi who fought against environmental destruction, how can we account for the stories fabricated by the Tamil Nadu government - calling them anti-social, extremist, anti-national? In modern life, behind the visuals presented by media, innumerable stories remain hidden. In a life filled with possibilities, human existence overflows with stories. A story is the playful articulation of language. In the space where silence and speech merge, stories emerge with emotion, striving to document time through the language of fiction.
