‘Vedikkai Parpavan’ is the autobiography of the Tamil writer and lyricist Na.Muthukumar. He narrates various events in his life from his birth upto writing the first song lyrics for a movie. He divides the story into various chapters and each chapter starts of with a relatable quote.
The book is non-linear yet the story comes of as a clearly interwoven thread. The use of magical realism and surrealism in telling an autobiographical story is really mesmerising!
Muthukumar narrates his own story from a third person’s perspective! Though this is unusual in the autobiographical literature.
This is one of the unique autobiographies ever written!
