The Kept Woman and other Stories by Kamala Das - Om Books

About the Book :”I feel a woman is most attractive when she surrenders to her man. She is incomplete without a man,” averred Kamala Das shortly before her death in May, 2009. One of the most controversial and celebrated Indian authors, she combined in her writings rare honesty and sensitivity, provocation and poignancy. The Kept Woman and Other Stories explores the man-woman relationship in all its dimensions. Deprived, depraved, mysterious, mystical and exalted, each character, culled from experience and observation, is an incisive study of love, lust and longing.

About the Author :Kamala Das poet, novelist, short-story writer, essayist and memoirist, Kamala Das, alias Madhavikutty, was born in 1934 into a literary family. Her father, VM Nair was the former Managing Editor of the Malayalam daily Mathrubhumi; her mother, Nalapatt Balamani Amma, was a well-known Malayalam poet and her great-uncle, Nalapatt Narayana Menon, was a writer and translator. Schooled mainly at home, she was a voracious reader, and spent her childhood between Punnayurkulam, her ancestral village in Kerala, and Calcutta (now Kolkata). Married at the age of 15 to Madhava Das, she started writing while still in her teens. She wrote short stories and poems, six novels and three memoirs, in which she explored a woman’s quest for freedom from sexual and domestic oppression, and examined the paradoxes of life and relationships with great emotional depth. She is best known for her controversial and provocative autobiography My Story. In 1999, she converted to Islam and assumed the name of Kamala Suraiya. In her later years, she wrote a syndicated newspaper column on a wide range of topics, including religion and politics. Kamala Das passed away in May 2009.
