Sundara Ramaswamy has been praised for his versatility, his skillful negotiation of various literary forms: poetry, short fiction and the novel. Ramaswamy began his literary career translating Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai's Malayalam novel, Thottiyude Makan into Tamil. His early short stories were published in progressive literary journals like Shanthi and Saraswati. He has written over 80 short stories, 3 novels, a little over 100 poems, as well as many essays and reviews. In 1987, Sundara Ramaswamy launched a literary review, Kalachuvadu, which folded after 8 quarterly issues and a final special edition. It was later revived in 1994, by his son Kannan Sundaram, in a different form."@en . "Sundara Ramaswamy"@en . . "1931"^^ . . "Sundara Ramaswamy"@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
