To tell a tale-14

(Chapter-2 Part-7)

-Chandra Latha

Gopichand avows, “Expression of life is the ultimate attraction. Any defined literary form is a fixed frame. Literary forms are born to express the life. Why should we give more validity than that? If we can get more benefit by moving beyond those frames, Why shouldn’t we move the frame?” Gopichand (chitta jallu.) He also points out, “Few critics consider life as a text book of multiple tables. Life is never that simple and straight for me.” Lack of fixed narrative frames or rigid narrative norms make this novel post-structuralist narrative also. Gopichand writes, “As I am talking about having framelessness, don’t assume that I am supporting the idea of introducing vivid incidents haphazardly into the frameless writing. These writings will not have frame, but will have a methodological thought structure. That methodology will have a destination. That method will not succumb ideal, but enlightens the psyche and presents life in its broad spectrum and decor.” (Gopichand. Gopichand  : Rachanaa sarvaswamu, 10 volumes, Alakananda Prachuranalu, 2010. Foreword.)

The Bungler, is a brilliant narrative montage that got manifested on the paper.
