In the 1995 _vaarshika saahitya sanchika_ of telugu India Today, there is
an article titled "_Sivamettina Sambhookuni Sirassu_" by Sree G.
lakshmeenarasayya. This review of daLit literature cites several authors
(such as those mentioned by Prasad Chodavarapu) and also lists a few
books dealing with reviews of daLit literature as well as reviews of
literature from the daLit viewpoint (kalEkoori prasaad, katti padmaaraavu
and B.S. raamulu). This is an interesting but by no means a
comprehensive review. Please send me a mail if you are interested in
this article.
