Rosy Thomas’s best-known work, He, My Beloved CJ, is a vivid and heartfelt memoir of her husband, CJ Thomas, the iconic Malayalam playwright and literary critic. Their love story is the stuff that legends are made of, as is the memoir. Thomas writes about their life together with verve and subtlety, weaving memories, reflections, and anecdotes together, to create an account that is as much about the cultural and political churning in mid-20th century Kerala, as it is that of an unusual and unconventional marriage. Yet, her narrative resolutely refuses to either romanticise love or sentimentalise the marital relationship itself.
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. She has also translated George Orwell’s Animal Farm into Malayalam.
