Writing legend Stella Bruce left us on Saturday. One more master of the pen, who produced classics such as ‘Adhu oru Nilakkaalam’ and ‘Panangaattu Annachi’ lost to us forever.

Rest in Peace.

    Sad that a writer had to go this way.

    Sad that he had to die in poverty, unable to even save his wife, and that too during the ‘tamil reign’ of Mu Karunanidhi.

    I never had enough knowledge of tamil to appreciate his works, but have heard the stories of his works and thus have a good idea of the quality of his work.

    May his soul rest in peace. May he and his beloved live ever in peace, in the hereafter.

    It’s a bit ironic that a writer should start writing late in his life under the attractive pseudonym Stella Bruce, write a lot about infidelity in his stories, and then take his own life because his wife left him.

    According to news reports, Bruce wrote in his suicide note that he wants to join his wife, who is dead.

    Seemingly the writer, like many others in Tamil wrote about problems in man-woman relationship, but in sharp contrast shared an ideal relationship with his wife.

    I have never read Bruce. I knew him like a know a lot of people for the first time when they die. All this a friend, who is deeply immersed in Tamil literature, told me.
