N. Sriram (born on August 7, 1972) is a writer of short stories and novels. He is presently working in the Media and lives in Chennai.
Private Life
N. Sriram was born into a farmer’s family of M. Nattarayasamy and Janaki at Nallimadam village near Dharapuram in Tiruppur district. Sriram finished his bachelors degree in co-operatives.
Sriram married Radha in 2005. They have a son Abhishek and the family lives in Anna Nagar, Chennai.
Literary Life
N. Sriram’s first short story Nettukattu Veedu was published in Kanaiyazhi in 1999. ‘Though I have been living in the city for past 20 years for the purpose of work, I am still writing about my acquittance with nature, the myths that fascinated me as a child, and the lives of everyone who lived in the village when I was a child,' says N. Sriram on his literary journey.
Sriram's stories are about the people and their experiences that we encounter in our lives, from the perspective of their soil without exaggeration and close to the readers.
Sriram mentions the literary pioneers Vannadasan, Nanjil Nadan, S. Ramakrishnan and Jeyamohan as who influenced his literary work.
Sriram's first collection of short stories Velivaangum Kaalam was published by Kanavu Pattarai publishers.
Literary Significance
Sriram's works have an indispensable place in the literary contribution of the western part of Tamil Nadu. Writer Palnilavan describes his works as the calm stream of river despite having created ripples.
While most of Sriram's stories depict the lives of ordinary villagers, the questions these stories raise about life are profound. Writer N. Murugesa Pandian notes that while writing the fiction, Sriram focused on the reality of Dharapuram land where he was born and raised, the life, the mythology, the cultural happenings and the verbal history of the ethnicity which he belonged.
