Rosy Thomas’s best-known work, He, My Beloved C J, is a vivid and heartfelt memoir of her husband, C J Thomas, the iconic Malayalam playwright and literary critic. Their love story is the stuff that legends are made of, as is her memoir.
Rosy Thomas, well-known Malayalam writer and translator, married Malayalam playwright and literary critic, C J Thomas, in 1951, when he was a professor at her father’s tutorial college in Changanassery. They were married only for nine years, as C J passed away at the age of 42, but their relationship formed the basis of her best-known work – Ivan Ente Priya C J. Her other prominent works include Urangunna Simham (The Sleeping Lion), a memoir of her father, M P Paul; Jalakakkazhcha, an anthology of essays; Annie, a novel; and Amerikkayil oru malayalippennu, a travelogue.
