HOW TO BUY THIS BOOK

His first and most famous novel, Khasakinte Ithihasam (The Legends of Khasak, 1969) tells the story of a teacher named Ravi dispatched to a newly created school in remote Khasak. He brought about a sea-change in Malayalam literature with this novel: so much so that it can be divided into pre-Khasak and post-Khasak eras, named after Vijayan's pioneering first novel.
He wrote many other short stories, essays and satire. He was also an editorial cartoonist whose works appeared in various news publications including The Statesman and the Far Eastern Economic Review. He worked for The Hindu also.
An incisive writer in English as well, Vijayan translated most of his own works from Malayalam to English. His Selected Works has been published as an omnibus volume by Penguin India.
