Pazhya Kanakku by SaviMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The book is a collection of articles of Savi over his time as a writer. Each article is typically devoted to an event in his life. The articles are about meeting with the greats of his time, like Kalki Krishnamurthy, EVR, Kamraj his fights with various writers and editors and his political views.
Some of the articles are also about the events from his childhood. His running away from house with the money his father gave him for school fees and ending up hungry in a pathashala where he expected his cousin to be studying, his sneaking into a house as a helper to the cooking and enjoying the "saddhi" served to the brahmins (by virtue of him having a tuft of hair which he hated having) are another set of articles.
A decent read for someone to get a very high level view of the life and political scenario of the times of Savi.
