This book presents a comprehensive study of nearly 100 of Kaaroor's
short stories. Kaaroor Neelakanta Pillai is one among the Big Six
of the 'new wave' in Malayalam literature which began in the
mid-1940s. The Big Six and their immediate followers wrote about
the common man, peasants, pavement-dwellers, fishermen,
rickshaw-pullers, underpaid school teachers - their lives,
aspirations and vulnerabilities. By treating Kaaroor's stories as
case studies, the book takes a sociological approach to
understanding the representation of a wide array of themes:
romantic overtones, erotic pursuits, marital episodes, issues of
family, lives of children, behavioural patterns, shades of greed,
the idea of spirituality and politics in Malayalam literature. With
its annotated transcreation and detailed commentary, this book
brings Kaaroor's works to the general reader, and will be useful to
scholars and researchers of South Asian literature, English
literature, linguistics, cultural studies, besides those interested
in Malayalam literature and the Malayali/Indian diaspora across the
world.
