About the author: Savi – The Great
Savi, born as S. Viswanathan in August 1916, was a pioneer in Tamil journalism. He hailed from Mambakkam, a village in the Arcot district. Though he left school after the eighth grade, he never stopped learning.
A passionate reader, he began writing under the pen name “Vidakandan.” His works appeared in magazines like Sudhesamithran and Hanuman. Seeking better opportunities, he moved to Chennai. There, Kalki Krishnamurthy, the editor of Ananda Vikatan, appointed him as an assistant editor.
S. Viswanathan adopted the pen name Savi and soon became a household name. His serialized novel Vashingtonil Thirumanam gained massive popularity. He followed it with hit stories like Visiri Vazhai and Oorar in Vikatan.
Later, he worked as an editor for Dina Kathir and Kumudam. However, his dream was to start his own magazine. He then launched Savi, naming it after himself.
Savi’s influence shaped many celebrated Tamil writers, including Agasthiyan (Kadugu), Pattukkottai Prabakar, Suba, Rajesh Kumar, Balakumaran, and Subramania Raju. His legacy in Tamil literature and journalism remains unmatched.
