This book studies modern literary discourses of sexuality in the Tamil context from the early to the last decades of the twentieth century. Examining the representation of masculine desire in the works of authors like K.P. Rajagopalan, T. Janakiraman, Karichan Kunju, M.V. Venkatram, Dandapani Jeyakantan, and Tanjai Prakash, this work takes into account a spectrum of sensual intimacies that are irreducible to the sexual. The twofold aim is to trace the shifting notions of the sexual and to unsettle normative structures of understanding the body, gender, and sexuality.
