ANITA

Sujatha was the pseudonym of Tamil author S. Rangarajan, one of the most popular authors in

Tamil literature; his literary career spanned more than four decades. Of his many works, Anita-A

Trophy Wife (Ilam Manaivi) was one of the most well-known. Featuring Advocate Ganesh, of the

author's Ganesh-Vasanth duo, the novel describes the strained relationship of a middle-aged man

and a beautiful young woman in poignant and simple terms. It brings out the nuances of a power

struggle, while retaining the humour and wit that is a trademark of Sujatha's novels.
