About the Book
This book presents Go Back to Paris, a powerful and thought-provoking novel by eminent Tamil writer Jayakanthan, translated into English by K. S. Subramanian. The novel explores the complex conflict between tradition and modernity, both in artistic expression and personal relationships.
The story revolves around Sarangan, a musician who returns to India with a vision to modernize Carnatic music. His ideals clash with the deeply rooted beliefs of his father, Seshiah, a traditional veena virtuoso who views music as a sacred and divine practice. This tension reflects a broader struggle between innovation and tradition.
Parallel to this is the emotional journey of Lalitha, a writer caught in a profound personal conflict. Torn between her passionate love for Sarangan and her loyalty to her virtuous husband, she faces a dilemma not of right versus wrong, but of choosing between two equally compelling moral paths. The novel presents this as a conflict between one form of duty and another, leading to a delicate and unresolved balance.
Jayakanthan’s narrative is marked by psychological depth, realism, and sensitivity, making the characters and their struggles deeply relatable. The translation preserves the essence and emotional intensity of the original Tamil work, bringing it to a wider readership.
