It has to be emphasised that
Viswanatha Satyanarayana belonged to a highly traditional and orthodox school
of writing. His voice would have been
heard by more people if his works were available in English translation. He was the most prolific of writers that the
Telugu people can ever dream off—experimenting with several genres of
literature. He authored his AU Award winning novel—a voluminous tome “Veyi Padagalu”— at a rapid pace in a
week or two, dictating it to his brother-in-law extemporaneously. In this magnum opus, he made his views
explicit in the character of Dharma Rao through four women characters
representing the four castes of our Hindu sanaathana dharma. I read most of his
novels and in his “Cheliyalikatta” he embarked on a theme that is totally
unorthodox.
