U. R. Anantamurthy is a disappointment as an Interviewer.

[@Observer261]

Masti isnt that great writer either. Heavily steeped in orthodoxy. His thought process never allowed him to grasp real nuances of our society at that time. Masti stands no chance in comparison with Karanth and Kuvempu.

[@000hariviv]

​​He is easily one of the greatest writers of Kannada literature. Probably the best short story writer. What's the problem with being orthodox? Everyone is entitled to have beliefs and opinions as long as they don't harm anyone.

[@Observer261]

@@000hariviv His Orthodoxy kept him away from real creativity. Read other writers like Shivaram Karanth or Kuvempu then you will come to know.
