- Abstract
This paper seeks to introduce to non-Malayali readers the plot of a strangely designed story in Malayalam entitled "Chathurangam" (Chess) by Kamala Das, where the heroine moves from a predicament of isolation to a discovery of her lonely self after her journey through the weariness of wedlock and the warmth of transient male love outside the orbit of marriage. The narrative weaves a tale that reflects the diverse nature of human emotions and psychological dimensions of a romantic relationship. Kamala Das is seen here to be a realistfeminist who appropriates existing fictional frameworks to fashion woman-centered narratives where one could hardly demarcate the boundaries between fiction and autobiography.
