About Book
A compilation comprising the most incisive, original

and evocative voices to come out of Karnataka in the

last two decades.

In Srigannada—‘the wealth that is Kannada’—eminent

writer Vivek Shanbhag has brought together essays,

fiction and poetry that best represent the last two

decades of literature in this language, lush with meaning

and nuance.

Significantly, writers in Kannada have received

the highest number of Jnanpith Awards, and this

compilation amply demonstrates why they been

singled out time after time for that distinction. The

anthology includes established litterateurs like U.R.

Ananthamurthy, Girish Karnad and Chandrashekhar

Kambar, as well as newer writers such as Sunanda

Kadame. They have tackled a wide range of issues—

globalization, caste, displacement, reality shows—that

reflect the dramatic social and economic changes that

have taken place over the last twenty years.

Srigannada is an anthology that holds a mirror before

the diverse cultures and many societies that exist within

the contemporary Kannada world.
