ABOUT THE BOOK

Willfully Evil is the English translation of the gripping Tamil psychological thriller Ichai, written by the legendary Balakumaran. The story delves into the dark and complex corridors of the human mind, exploring the thin line between love, obsession, and moral depravity. It follows the life of a protagonist who, driven by deep-seated desires and a lack of moral restraint, chooses a path of calculated wickedness to achieve his ends. Unlike traditional moralistic tales, this book serves as a chilling character study that forces readers to confront the inherent potential for evil within the human psyche.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Balakumaran (1946–2018) was one of the most influential and prolific writers in modern Tamil literature, often referred to as Ezhuthu Sithar (the Siddha of Writing). Known for his unique ability to blend spiritual philosophy with gritty social realism, his career spanned hundreds of novels, short stories, and screenplays for iconic films like Nayakan and Baasha. His writing frequently explores the complexities of human relationships, the nuances of the workforce, and the quest for self-actualization. Balakumaran remains a household name in Tamil Nadu for his bold, direct prose and his deep understanding of both the classical and the contemporary Tamil experience.
