Karnataka’s celebrated polymath, D V Gundappa brings together in the third volume, some character sketches of great literary savants responsible for Kannada renaissance during the first half of the twentieth century. These remarkable personages hailing from different corners of the erstwhile Mysore State are from a period that spans from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. These memoirs, written in Kannada in the 1960s, go beyond personal memories and offer us a glimpse into the society of that era. Art Gallery of Memories ranks high among the great works of creative non-fiction in world literature and appears for the first time in English translation.
