Sundara Ramaswamys modern classic, translated from Tamil, is a simply stunning reflection about shared histories, loss, an affinity for nature, and a nearmythic center of life in a village in India.While it lived, the tamarind tree stood at the crossroads of a small village in Southern India. For more than fifty years it was a benevolent observer, offering shade without discrimination. It bore witness to laughter and tears, to tragedy and simple pleasures, and to the history of the village itself as it transformed from the old ways of bullockled carts to a bustling community of social, political, economic, and ecological change. And for Damodara Asan, an enigmatic philosopher, memory keeper, and master storyteller, the tamarind treeand everything it inspiredwas an endless source of tales that enthralled generations.Unfolding through the bittersweet remembrances of an unnamed narrator who was once beguiled by Asan, The Tamarind Tree is a beautiful and universal story about transition, the compromises of progress, and a longgone though undying symbol of indestructible dignity, culture, and life.
