DVG through Letters - 3
The letters also contain valuable discussions on grammar, stylistics and poetics. DVG the natural poet has occasionally composed entire letters in verse (K V Puttappa: 18.2.1944, V K Gokak: 4.9.1941). We learn of DVG’s respect for his predecessors and his honest efforts at republishing their works (T N Padmanabhan: 3.9.1968), as also his lively sense of humour that sometimes bordered on the risqué (T N Sreekantaiya: 30.3.1947). Included here is a unique letter that became the foreword to a modern Kannada classic, Maisūru Malligè (K S Narasimhaswamy: 31.12.1941).
