Karnataka’s celebrated polymath, D V Gundappa brings together in the seventh volume of reminiscences character sketches of prominent scholars, businessmen, hoteliers, as well as of the laity. These remarkable individuals hailing from different parts of South India are from the early part of the twentieth century. Written in Kannada in the 1970s, these memoirs 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.
