The number of novels based on traditional Tamil sports are very few. Sevalkalam, is one such novel, based on Sevalkattu or rooster fight, a Tamil sport with long historical records. Written in a lively spoken Tamil, the novel weaves the sport and equally interesting life events together. The novel also shines in celebrating the innate goodness of its characters, which is a relief in our times.
