About the Book
This book by S.R. Vijayashankar is a comprehensive biographical and literary study of Masti Venkatesh Iyengar, an eminent Kannada writer, Jnanpith laureate, and Sahitya Akademi award winner. Known as a pioneer of the short story genre in Kannada, Masti wrote extensively between 1910 and 1986, publishing nearly 130 books across fiction, poetry, non-fictional prose, plays, and even works in English on Karnataka’s popular culture. This study provides readers and scholars with an in-depth understanding of his life, contributions, and enduring legacy in Kannada literature.
