Vijay Tendulkar: Omnibus

0.0

Journalist, playwright, film-script writer, short story writer, essayist and now also a novelist, Vijay Tendulkar has been one of the most prolific writers making bold experiments with every form that he handles, enriching it in his own way and some times kicking up the inevitable heat and dust. His plays such as Ghashiram Kotwal, Sakharam Binder and Silence! The Court is in Session, have been translated into several languages of India and the world, making waves around the globe, robustly marking his presence on the international avant-garde theatre scene.A uniquely penetrating eye, through which Tendulkar takes a long look at life, particularly the gray shades of the inner recesses, marks his artistic vision. He stares at the harsh realities in face and presents these to his readers and viewers in their entire starkness, leaving them at times wilting in discomfiture, and shuddering in disbelief. You can either like him immensely or hate him totally, but you cannot be indifferent to him.This Omnibus, trying to touch as many aspects of Tendulkar's creativity as possible, is a tribute to this truly multifaceted genius, and thus richly deserves a place on every literary bookshelf!
