註釋About the Book : - Nagarajan had a glimpse of visions that great souls have not yet seen Sundara Ramaswamy This novella by the maverick Tamil prose writer G. Nagarajan centres on one eventful day in the life of a small-scale operator, fix-it man, pimp and procurer, Kandan. It offers a reading of the seamy margins of society and explores time and temporality, human desire and the possibility of love in the harsh and often violent underworld of a small town in Tamil Nadu.

G. Nagarajan (1929 81) was one of the pioneers of modern Tamil prose and of realistic-existentialist writing in Tamil. Tomorrow Is One More Day is his most important work, although he was also the author of some three dozen short stories and two other novellas (one in English). His work and his antinomian, unsettling presence helped to shape the vibrant literary scene in Tamil in the late 1960s and early1970s. THE TRANSLATORS
