The book is huge. At 712 pages an English book would be huge, so when you think of a Kannada book you have to factor in the extra time it takes to read those 700 pages. So this is approximately as big as a 1000-1100 page tome in terms of time.

In terms of content, of course, a 700 page book is a 700 page book, and it moves at the speed which the author intends you to move at. And move it does. Starting from Simbavi with Guthi leaving with a letter to Halemane, his dog huliya in tow, it's a rollicking ride into the next 2 days which also mark the start of the Monsoon. These two days set the tone for the rest of the Monsoon, the dust settling only after the next 2 months.

Kannada Story Books

What starts off as an idyllic set of villages steeped in casteism and backwardness with no access to modern medical care or education is left on the verge of hospitals, schools and the police. The caste hierarchy is the one thing that you cannot ignore, as it is written deeply into the minds of the characters. A holeya knows at all times that he is one, and the transactions that he can and cannot undertake w.r.t a Billava, a halepaika or a Vokkaliga. The Brahmins stay in the towns, rarely visiting.

In this mix are also thrown in Muslims because they can transact with every one of the castes. They are out of the system, and can be used in different ways to communicate with different parts of the system without the usual restrictions in place. This also provides an interesting situation for Protestant Missionaries to try their luck. The Padri comes with targets, 'this many people to convert and I can then be a Reverend'.

Women keep dying during delivery and very few survive to old age. This makes it easy for older, wealthy Gowdas to procure wives when one dies out., and doesn't stop them when one is alive either, if there are no kids forthcoming. Around all this is the region of Malnad, its rising hills and mountains, its hill mynas, drongos, kingfishers, crabs, frogs, cicadas, that provide the soundtrack and the background for the action. There are the characteristics of people who live there vs those who have migrated from the lower reaches, the way they wear their clothes, the languages they speak. You live through the book, hearing the sounds, and smelling the smells.

Now, to the issues. There are always issues. The same issues with Kanooru Heggadathi show up here, although Kuvempu spends a lot less time on it. This book isn't so much about spirituality and Hinduism as KH was.

It is all the more enjoyable for it, while at the same time being hard hitting and pithy. Guthi goes to the Shetty Anthakka's house smelling dosas, is asked to clean up the backyard, says he would do it later as he's off for an important task, and is given the previous evening's food instead. After eating it, he gives the empty leaves to his dog to smell. The comparison about having to smell something, but being denied it because of one's caste and how one is seen, hits home perfectly. But as much as Kuvempu has his gripe over Brahminism, rightly so, his looking for salvation for the already strong Vokkaliga caste to free themselves from it feels a bit.

The vokkaligas were already the land owning castes, and they continued to wield more power over things, right to this day. In many ways they went on to join the Brahmins. The only castes in the book that seem to be in the same track are the Bunts and the Halepaikas (Naiks). The one constant for all of them is that they could own land.

Neither the Billavas nor the Holeyas could, and were condemned to be indentured labourers slogging for one Gowda family for generations to come. They continue to be downtrodden. After making some early encouragement for others, Kuvempu goes back to hoping the Gowdas will get liberated from Brahminism. There doesn't seem to be much hope for the rest of the castes held out. There is the hope that the Vokkaligas will educate and free the others, which doesn't seem to be the case with Devayya Gowda.

Of course, this is true of every language. True Dalit writing comes from the Dalit writers, not from the upper caste ones who were mainly concerned with their own battles. In this regard, a special mention for Karanth's which does a really good job of looking at how life is at the lower levels of the caste hierarchy. True revolution for a caste also comes from people within the caste, not from outside saviors either. I guess, in that sense, Kuvempu was right to concentrate on only his caste, and leaving others to deal with their issues? Maybe, but I don't think it was intentional.

The book is also a 100 pages too long. Despite moving really fast, most of the threads are resolved by the time you hit 600 pages. The last 100 pages barely pack enough to last 20-30 pages, Kaveri's and Devayya's denouement are the only ones left. You don't feel the same sense of urgency as you get from the earlier 600 pages. Some firmer editing would've helped.

All in all, this is an excellent work, and should be a must read to understand the forces in effect at the turn of the 20th century bringing a place locked away in the forests into modernity. And most importantly read it for the Ghats, its sounds, smells, sights and seasons. After reading this work of kuvempu, I came to know why he is celebrated in kannada literature world.

Malenadu is really a heaven for all animals (including humans) but unfortunately we are demolished most of it. However, this novel really has some magic in it. Because while reading we really feel that each scene of the story is running right in front of us. Thank you soo much 'Laksh V Shelke' for sponsoring this beautiful novel for reading.

This book is a must read for someone who wants loose themselves for a while. It would take you back to an era of wickedness of nature's beauty. The rain, love just makes it even more intense, Kevempu really stands up for the name rasa rushi while narrating.

He never really tries give a judgement on anything but he tries to make one understand the life of the people living in the Maland at that time.
