When it was first published in 1973, Kamala Das's sensational memoir shocked readers with its total disregard for convention and its fearless articulation of subjects still considered taboo. Shedding light on the hypocrisies that informed traditional society, and the author's intensely personal experiences in her passage to womanhood made My Story far ahead of its time.
It is today considered a masterpiece.
I cannot inak of any other Indian autobiography that so honestly captures a woman's taner life in ail its sad solitude, its desperate longing for real love and its desire for transcendence, its tumult of colours and its turbulent poetry K. SATCHIDANANDAN
