My Story is an autobiographical book written by Indian author and poet
Kamala Das (also known as Kamala Surayya or Madhavikutty). The book was
originally published in Malayalam, titled Ente Katha. The book evoked
violent reactions of admiration and criticism among readers and critics.
It remains to date the best-selling woman's autobiography in India.
My Story is a chronologically ordered, linear narrative written in a
realist style. In the book, Das recounts the trials of her marriage and
her painful self-awakening as a woman and writer. The entire account is
written in the format of a novel. Though My Story was supposed to be
an autobiography, Das later admitted that there was plenty of fiction in
it.
